As World Gin & Tonic Day approaches on October 19, MURO's Head Mixologist, Sahil Essani, is introducing his signature creation, "The Good Apple." This inventive gin cocktail offers a refreshing twist designed for India’s warm climate, combining unique ingredients for a sensory experience.

"The Good Apple" draws inspiration from a playful idea — imagining an apple falling deep into the ocean instead of from a tree, blending with gin, yuzu, cucumber, and basil. After nearly 250 trials to perfect the recipe, the result is a drink with a fresh, fruity profile, balanced with herbal and tart notes.

The cocktail’s preparation involves chilling the gin for 36 hours in a blast freezer to achieve the perfect temperature. It also features clarified green apple juice to enhance the flavor. Though colorless by design, the drink glows under black light, adding a striking visual appeal.

Key Ingredients in "The Good Apple":

• Green Apple Switch Gin

• Jasmine Yuzu

• 45ml Green Apple Switch Gin

Method:

The ingredients are stirred together, allowing the subtle flavors of cucumber, yuzu, and jasmine to blend seamlessly with the gin. A jasmine-aromatized tuile adds an extra touch of elegance to the drink.
