Carlo’s Vioeibare Appeltaart Spritz:
Note: This recipe was originally posted as part of an article that I authored for the Dutch web publication The Protocity.
The Carlo’s Vioeibare Appeltaart is an uncertified product that we sourced from Pure Markt. It was sold as an uncertified product amongst several other certified alcoholic beverages made by larger-scale producers. To us this product sparks questions of small-scale artisans and their struggles to obtain proper certifications with their limitations even though they are in fact culturally or traditionally much more proper. Paired with Champagne, a highly-certified and regulated beverage, this cocktail is the perfect dichotomy of uncertified artisanal and highly-certified/more industrialized products.
INGREDIENTS:
1 part Carlo’s Vioeibare Appeltaart from Het Ciderhuis (or your favorite full-flavored apple cider)
1 part Champagne, of your own preference
Cinnamon sticks and apple slices for garnish
METHOD:
- Combine equal parts of Carlo’s Vioeibare Appeltaart and your favorite Champagne for a sweet but balanced apple sensation.
- Top with a cinnamon stick and apple slices, and enjoy!
