RECIPE BY DAVID CHANG
October 2007
This refreshing aperitif, a brainchild of David Arnold of the French Culinary Institute, bathes crisp matchsticks of Pink Lady apple with soju (a Korean spirit) and a little sparkle.
-
1
Pink Lady or Granny Smith apple
-
2
cups
soju or sake
-
5
cups
chilled tonic water (40 fluid ounces)
-
8
lime wedges
-
Cut apple into matchsticks with slicer, discarding core, then put in a pitcher and stir in soju. Let macerate, covered and chilled, at least 30 minutes.
-
Fill 8 (12-ounce) double Old Fashioned glasses with ice. Strain about 1/4 cup soju into each glass, then add some apple pieces to each glass. Top off drinks with tonic and serve with lime wedges.
Cooks' note: Apples in soju can be chilled up to 2 hours.
