A Note from Feedfeed
We like to lead a no waste lifestyle. So when we can make cocktails from that, it just gets better! @robgullixson uses apple cores and peels to make the simple syrup for this whiskey cocktail. It's full of ginger and lemony flavors that we love, with a hint of cinnamon to tie it all together!
