The Apple Fell Far from the Tree is a fresh and eye-catching cocktail from Steven Tuttle, the bar manager at San Diego's Kettner Exchange. It features blanco tequila, pineapple rum, pimento dram, Fuji apple syrup and lime juice. Also, it's purple. The color comes from butterfly pea flowers, a unique, violet-hued ingredient that turns liquids blue. More magic occurs when the flowers meet with an acidic ingredient, changing the liquid to purple or bright pink when high pH is present like in citrus or tonic. In this case, the butterfly pea flowers are infused directly into the tequila, changing it blue. Once the spirit is mixed with the remaining ingredients, including fresh lime juice, the cocktail reaches its final visual destination. Despite its bright springtime color, the cocktail hints at autumn. The allspice present in the pimento dram merges with the Fuji apple syrup, giving fall flavors to this tasty drink, all without losing the vibrancy and vegetal earthy notes of the blanco tequila. This Is How to Turn Your Cocktails Purple. And Not in the Way You Probably Think.
