Drink of the day

I suppose I should say drink of the night.  I mean I won’t pretend there aren’t some days where I drink during the day but I usually refrain and wait until the evening to mix up a cocktail.

This post is not sponsored. I simply was able to obtain a small sample bottle of Jim Beam Apple and it was so good I thought I’d share it with you. On a sidenote, I was tying to focus on the drink and not the actual bottle so that’s why it’s blurred out in some of these pictures.

On the side of the sample it gives you a recipe for a Jim Beam Apple and soda. Plus that’s what Mila Kunis tells you to mix it with in the TV commercial. So I decided to try it just like they told me to. I mean how can Mila Kunis be wrong? I still to this day laugh at the thought of her being the voice of Meg on Family Guy. Totally blew my mind when I heard that. I’m not sure why. Maybe because it took me years to realize it?

So in a glass with ice I mixed 1oz Jim Beam Apple with club soda and a lemon slice.

I was very pleasantly surprised. The drink was very refreshing and crisp and only a little bit tart. Like a green apple. Mixing it with the club soda gave it a very mild flavor which was nice. It also didn’t have a very prominent bourbon taste, for all of you bourbon scaredy cats out there. Kind of reminded me of an apple martini or just straight up apple pucker. Or as I read in a review online, like a green apple jolly rancher. I also liked that it was mixed with club soda because sometimes I freak out about the calories, caffeine, and chemicals from colas and diet colas. But not from alcohol. HA! I know I totally contradict myself. But I actually think I may pick up a full size bottle of Jim Beam Apple to add to my ever growing (but sometimes shrinking during a really bad week! Don’t judge me!) liquor collection.

I highly recommend you try it! Cheers!
