Apple Pie in a Glass! || Newtons Law Cocktail Recipe
It’s time to fall into fall, with a Newton’s Law.
This cocktail might as well be an apple pie in a glass, as it’s really tasty and packed full of apple and baking spices! The key ingredient here is the apple butter, which is essentially some nice sweet apples, cooked down with sugar and spices to form a sweet, spicy spread. The flavours will vary depending on the brand you buy or recipe you use, so feel free to play around with the recipe and find your ideal ratio.
My apple butter is really full of apple and spice flavours, so while some recipes call for 2 or 3 teaspoons of apple butter, I instead used just one large teaspoon, and a little bit of brown sugar syrup as if I used more apple butter, the sweetness would have been right, but apple and spice would have been all I could taste… The other ingredients are a classic bourbon, I’ve used Buffalo Trace, and some lemon juice to round it all out.
Let me know your favourite apple cocktail in the comments below!

Newton’s Law cocktail recipe:
60ml Bourbon
20ml lemon juice
15ml sugar syrup
1 tsp apple butter
Shake with ice and strain onto a rock of ice
Garnish with a lemon zest and a pinch of ground cinnamon.

Buffalo Trace Bourbon review
zhlédnutí 131Před 9 hodinami
Is this really an “Everyman’s Bourbon”? The Buffalo Trace distillery has been around for a long time, but it wasn’t always called by that name. It passed through a number of hands before being taken over by the Sazerac Company, and being renamed to the Buffalo Trace Distillery in 1999. The distillery is responsible for some really high-end bourbons like Eagle Rare and Weller, as well as some un...

When you’re feeling a little ill, one of the classic “old wive’s tale” recipes is a Hot Toddy. The combination of whiskey, lemon, sugar, spices and hot water (or hot tea) does tend to perk people up, but I’m not going to make any claims about its medicinal properties!! However, in the middle of summer, it can be hard to drink hot cocktails, so I’ve made a cold version instead! The real star of ...

A Classic Scotch Cocktail || The Williams Cocktail Recipe

Let me show you how to make a Williams Cocktail! The Williams is one of those classic cocktails, which takes a spirit, in this case scotch whiskey and modifies it with other alcohols instead of fruit juices. In this case, dry vermouth and yellow Chartreuse. Diffords suggests serving this on the rocks, to tame back the boozy nature of the drink, but I found that by moving to a semi-dry vermouth,...

How to Make a SMOKY Espresso Martini!
this sounds like a perect fall drink. can't wait to try. cheers
And now I must have pie lol.
That apple butter sounds like a treat!
What's your favourite apple cocktail?
@@TheWhiskeyNerd honestly the stone fence is easy and super tasty
Great fall cocktail. At times I cheat and just take apple juice from pressed apples and reduce in on the stove until thicker...
Oh! That's a good Idea, like an apple syrup
@@TheWhiskeyNerd yes and then can add spices and/or sugar
Interesting, there's another one, the stone fence, same flavor profile but not as rich since no apple butter. 2 oz. bourbon over ice, 3-4 oz. apple cider to top, a couple dashes angostura. Stir to mix in your glass. You can, if you so choose, top it with a little hard cider. Gives the drink some carbonation and a touch more sweetness. You can really use pretty much any brown spirit as your base, but I prefer the bourbon. Really easy to make, great fall sipper.
Oh! Definitely going to try that out this fall as the cooler evenings start calling for those kinds of cocktails.
Oh yes the original amt called for with the apple butter sounds like way too much! I agree Matt!!
Cheers Christine! Yeah, I think this is the right balance of apple and bourbon
@@TheWhiskeyNerd Agreed!! 🙂
Yummm!! 😋 Sounds awesome and delicious Matt!! Fabulous for a hot summer day and it’s hot here! Thankfully I’m recovered from food poisoning. That was awful. Have a fabulous weekend!!
Prefer it to Makers Mark but for the price in Ireland and the fact that it's 40% I wouldn't bother with it again, much prefer Bulleit, Woodford Reserve and Eagle Rare. Would very much like to try the proper 45% version
Yeah, there's definitely better bourbon options for the same price in Ireland. I got the "Baby Buffalo" bottles, which are at 45% in the Celtic Whiskey Shop, but I'd say a load of off licences also stock them. We have a video comparing the two versions coming out on Monday
Given how difficult it has been to find in the US, I feel blessed that here in Ireland it’s basically available everywhere. I prefer Eagle Rare, just that aged up stuff, but wouldn’t sniff at BT. For €32-35 it’s a lovely bourbon, and then about €50 for Eagle Rare is a good step up. Compared in price range to something like Jameson Black Barrel (€50 retail, often on offer €30, which is the ‘real’ price I’d buy it at) BT is complex enough (different style, but just thinking of what you get for your money). If you have tasted a lot of their more “premium” stuff you can see the thread that runs through all the way from basic BT. Stagg etc, you can draw yourself back to basic BT.
There's definitely a solid through-line with their products. I was at a Buffalo Trace Antique Collection tasting at the Distilled bar in Dublin last year (closed now unfortunately) and it was really great to see the evolution through the older eagle rares, 1792 and through to Pappy
Hey corn products sounds fun! I don’t mind Eagle Rare! I am recovering from food poisoning or some kind of stomach upset so no whisky today! Ugh!
Oh no! Hope you recover in time for the weekend Christine!
@@TheWhiskeyNerd Thanks Matt. I will never eat canned lentil soup again! Yikes! Ugh! I am better tonight although weak. I am definitely recovering! Thanks for your kindness Matt!! It means a lot. 🙂
BOURBON 4 Lyfe!
Love the passion!
Love that Rose likes this one! Not a Bourbon fan but this one is popular! Awesome video!!
Thanks for watching! It's definitely an easy drinker, so I can see why some people really like it
For sure! My husband occasionally pops in a couple of big clear ice cubes in a rocks glass and pours over a couple of ounces of this bourbon during the hotter parts of the summer! He dips it outside in the backyard!
Depends where you live if BT is readily available. I only buy their Single Barrel store picks which are easy to find and $27 Much prefer Eagle Rare.
Yeah, Eagle Rare is much better in my opinion. I don't know why there was such a rush to get BT in some markets, but it didn't get super popular over in Ireland. Maybe the 40% has something to do with it
hey fun review as always. Love Rose was pretty excited today. keep this up. slainte
Thanks for watching! Always love when Rose really gets into the whiskeys!
Make sure to check back to see us compare the 40% & 45% versions of Buffalo Trace!
Excited to see the comparison!
@@christinecamleyit was fun to film!
@@TheWhiskeyNerd Awesome!!
The intro picture shows Rose as a Whisky Nerd and not a Whisky New. Shame to have diluted the whiskey down to 40% ABV. Is Wild Turkey 101 available in Ireland?
Ah yeah, that's just the channel logo and sure she'll be a nerd one day too! They do sell WT101 here, as far as I'm aware BT is the only one that dilutes the whiskey down... We will have a video comparing the 40% & 45% versions on Monday!
It was a fun watch despite the obvious curating by the nerd. However he forgot one important piece of advice when sipping cask strength, which is to take smaller sips. There shouldn't be enough liquid in the mouth to cause gagging when swallowing. I still recall a tasting group, almost all men, who had trouble handling their first cask strength, the Glenfarclas 105. It was deemed undrinkable. Of course they have all moved on and a few years ago we had a cask strength tasting which included a rum.
That's a fair point of advice, as cask strength whiskeys can deliver a lot more flavour (and weight) in a smaller amount of liquid!
No the answer is always NO....stop buying this over priced crap...
Wasn't that expensive when I picked it up, but I'm definitely glad I didn't pay the prices they charge in Ireland for it!
definitely want to give this a try! Looks great!
Hope you enjoy it!
on the fence with this, i prefer the classic but have to try this
Well, the classics are classics for a reason, but no harm in trying a new version from time to time!
Love this! Definitely going to try it! I might use Wigle Whiskey instead, it’s not from the Allegheny region but it’s close enough 😂
Ooh, that sounds like a good whiskey to try!
Never been a fan of the Manhattan. This might be a better variant for sure. Have you tried the barrel aged cocktails from High West?
I haven't! They don't sell them in Ireland unfortunately, but a few companies like Powers etc. sell similar premade old fashioneds etc. Still, always enjoy trying new brands out so one day I'll lay my hands on them!
What's your favourite Manhattan Riff?
Brooklyn!
I’m limiting alcohol intake to 60 ml a week right now for health reasons so I am super choosy! Scotch all the way and heavily peated! I avoid sweet cocktails or a sweeter spirit. Have an awesome weekend. Hope all the diagnostics I’m going through turn out okay. 👍
I hope they turn out well too! Best of luck Christine and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
🙏 Hope you and Rose have a fabulous weekend!!
Cassis is so sweet for me.
I'll find a way to change your mind!
That’s a deal Matt!!
I prefer a traditional Manhattan and I use a higher ABV Rye but I have enjoyed a few of these over the years. I tend to prefer dryer cocktails. Great video Matt! Cheers!
That's fair enough Christine! The best cocktails are the ones you enjoy drinking after all!
I always keep an open mind!! lol!!😂
Found your channel by accident very educational because not that many are irish ! . now you saving me time on choosing too - cheers
That sounds like a happy accident alright! Cheers to ya!
Love this whiskey great quality for the price , in our local pub and shops and always make sure to grab a bottle my friends and I thoroughly enjoy it
Good stuff!
This sounds so good! I might try it with an Irish whiskey like you did and then try it again with a wheated bourbon.
Ooh! I wonder how different they'd be!
its owned by bacardi!!!!!
Bacardi have acquired a load of brands over the last decade, including Teeling Whiskey in Ireland!
Sounds nice Matt! Summer needs to slow down! Awesome video! I just bought a couple of interesting Lagavulin expressions! Delicious smoke!
Oooh! Any standout drams from those Lagavulins?
@@TheWhiskeyNerd The 2022 Lagavulin 12 yo and the Lagavulin Offerman 11, 4th Edition and the Lagavulin 16 are all spectacular!! Outstanding! The 16 is always such a classy fave!! Cheers Matt!
Old fashioneds are just a delicious treat. I'm not sure what chocolate liquor would be here in the states. Now I'll have to hunt one down. Nicely done! Cheers to ya!
Cheers right back at ya both!
I think any white creme de cacao would work!
Nice , sounds like a nice tipple! First i've heard of this one so great job!!!
Thanks!
Oh man Irish whiskey in general is quite hidden to me, let alone these ones 😅 Though I have to say I tried two of the wine cask Green Spots, Leoville Barton and Chateau Montelena and absolutely loved them both. I have to visit Ireland damnit! Cheers my friend 🥃
Cheers pal! And yeah, those wine finishes were lovely. I wasn't a super fan of the "Quail's Gate" release, but those two are great
Hope you had a great summer Mat 👍
I did! And many happy returns Chappy!
like the list. Need to try that green spot. few of them I have not seen but now I know to keep an eye out. cheers
You should! The extra ABV really helps it shine
I always look for hidden gems Matt. How wwell you know me :)
Haha! Who doesn't love a hidden gem!
Nice list Matt. Have them all except the JJ as I chose The Gael over the Hansen. I would say the Knappogue Castle 12 gets overlooked a lot and is delicious and reasonably priced. The Clonakilty Single Barrel cask strength has always been very good as well.
Knappogue is a good one alright, and yeah, Clonakilty are putting out solid whiskeys
Terrific video Matt. Just not a massive Irish whiskey fan but these are all nice! I'm a peat head!! Cheers!! 🙂
Haha! I'll have to do a video of smoky Irish whiskeys for you and your fellow peatheads Christine!
@@TheWhiskeyNerd LOL!! I always love your amazing videos Matt!! You are a lovely soul my friend!! 🙂
You just can't beat a €5 slim fit Dunnes tshirt !
Except with another one! Hahaha!
Thank you for selecting easily-found options. Looking forward to hunting down the Writer's Tears and The Liberator products to savor over the cooler months. Thanks for doing the homework for us. Cheers!
Always happy to do the homework (especially if it involves trying some nice whiskeys!) And yeah, we all love unicorn bottles, but I wanted to highlight some easily found bottles which are overlooked!
I only like the 46% Green Spots finished in wine casks, but not the 40% ABV Green Spot.
I can see why, especially as there's not a huge price difference between the regular and the 46% versions! Might do a video comparing them all!
Love the green spot leoville barton, it’s always on our shelf, agree that it’s the best of green spots
Yeah, there's something about it that's just so much richer, despite only being a little bit more expensive!
What are your picks for hidden gem whiskeys?
Dingle Single Malt.
anything from a local micro distillery is always worth checking as they may have something quite unique
@@DileepB such a solid whiskey, probably one of the best value drams on the market
@@stephane.foisy.186 100% agreed!
Sounds amazing, we'll have to give this a try ourselves, thanks Matt! Sláinte 🥃
Hope you enjoy it! Sláinte!
Was home last week, got 2 bottles of illegal poitin. One with a nice yellow tint and the other pure white. Brought them both back with me!
Haha! Glad they made it back safely! Now you just have to stay safe drinking them!
@@TheWhiskeyNerd Ah they'll last me a long long time. A nip here and there.
I love your review
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this whiskey. For my palate it felt a bit harsh at first taste but when I added two small pieces of ice it softened it for me and really opened up the sweet aroma of oak. For me I usually don't add ice or water but have noticed that adding ice to oak and stout finishes it opens certain whiskeys to me.
Thanks for sharing! And yeah, for the reviews, I always just drink the whiskey as presented, but there are plenty of whiskeys in my collection which are improved a little (or a lot!) by a drop of water or an ice cube. Might do a video comparing a whiskey neat, with ice, with water, and from the freezer, to see how much it can change!
oh now this is right up my alley. Need to make this one, I can't find that Boann here, any recommendations for a good substitute? this sounds amazing, love the pairing of chocolate and orange. keep them coming. Slainte
I'd say a pot still Irish whiskey like Powers Three Swallow could do well. This whiskey had a nice bit of citrus and chocolate notes, so I can imagine certain bourbons also working, maybe with slight tweaks to the other ingredients
