Cocktails with Green apple
Green apple is a tart, firm-fleshed apple variety used fresh as a garnish and a source of crisp fruit juice.
Taste profile
Sharp and tart, with a clean, slightly grassy freshness and a crisp, watery bite.
How it's used
Slice it thinly into fans or cut it into wedges for a garnish, or muddle and press it for a fresh, tart juice that adds acidity and orchard-fruit lift.
Substitutes for Green apple
Another tart, firm apple, or a splash of pressed apple juice where only the flavour is needed.
Description
Growers harvest these apples while the skin stays bright green and the flesh remains dense and acidic, in contrast to sweeter red dessert types. The fruit holds its shape and pale colour well when cut.
Storage
Cut surfaces brown quickly; slice to order or hold briefly in acidulated water, and refrigerate whole fruit.
