How to Make an Apple Pie Shot
Apple pie shot is an interesting, alcohol-infused beverage, traditionally served at thanksgiving dinners and parties. This refreshing alcohol shot tastes exactly like mom’s apple pie, but the the inclusion of cider vinegar in it makes it a bit tart. It is extremely easy to prepare and the ingredients used can be bought from the local super store without much difficulty. You just need to mix vodka with apple juice and cider and top it with whipped cream and cinnamon before serving it. Alcohol content can be according to your preference.
