An indication that the mixture is ready is when condensation starts to appear on the side of the tin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Finally, add crushed ice to a hurricane glass and double strain the mixture over the ice using a Hawthorne strainer on your Boston Tin, and a tea strainer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">You can either garnish the glass with an apple slice. Make a small incision and placing it on the side of the glass, or you could try something a little more complicated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In order to make an apple fan garnish, start by cutting a 1.5inch wedge out of an apple. Then cut a series of wedges each one smaller than the one before it. Fan the wedges on top of each other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Below is an example of what the finished fan should look like:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christmas-connections.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Finished-Fan.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-116\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christmas-connections.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Finished-Fan.png\" alt=\"Finished Fan Example for the Christmas Cocktail Apple of my eye\" width=\"415\" height=\"362\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWhen you\u2019re done, the completed Apple of My Eye should look something like this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christmas-connections.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Apple-of-My-Eye-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-117\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christmas-connections.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Apple-of-My-Eye-2.png\" alt=\"Apple of My Eye Christmas Cocktail\" width=\"847\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christmas-connections.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Apple-of-My-Eye-2.png 847w, https:\/\/www.christmas-connections.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Apple-of-My-Eye-2-300x164.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 847px) 100vw, 847px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We hope you enjoyed participating in our Cocktail Masterclass series, click on the links below to see our other cocktail recipes.
