This spiced apple fizz shines a light on spicy and fruity seasonal flavours and offers a fresh twist on a classic recipe. When choosing your perfect cocktail glass, the options aren't complicated. Here, we focus on a double old fashioned glass (also known as a rocks or lowball glass) and a highball, which is almost identical to a Collins glass, just a touch shorter. When stocking your home bar, most bartenders will concur that you can make 90% of drinks in a double old fashioned or highball, along with a good all-purpose cocktail glass. Whether you're looking for diversion or a little liquid courage, this mixed drink may do the trick.
