The mixture

This is how the tap works

  1. 1

    Chill ingredients

    Place all liquid ingredients in the refrigerator for a few hours before preparation so that your drink is ice-cold and ready to serve immediately.
    WINKY Hack: Cold liquids bind the carbon dioxide noticeably better and produce finer bubbles.
  2. 2

    Filter lemon juice

    Squeeze the fresh lemons and pour the juice through a fine bar sieve to completely remove the pulp.
  3. 3

    Fill keg

    Pour the bourbon, filtered apple juice, lemon juice, maple syrup, and ginger ale directly into your keg and stir gently once with a bar spoon.
  4. 4

    Build up pressure

    Screw the lid tightly onto the keg and insert a CO2 capsule to give the drink its lively fizz.
  5. 5

    Cone and serve

    Fill an elegant tumbler with large ice cubes, pour the cocktail directly into it and garnish it, if desired, with a thin slice of apple and a sprig of rosemary.
    WINKY Hack: Clap the rosemary sprig briefly between your palms before placing it in the dish to awaken the essential oils.

About this drink

As soon as the days grow shorter and the golden season arrives, it's time for warming aromas and refreshing elegance. Our Sparkling Apple Bourbon Smash combines full-bodied Kentucky bourbon, the finest naturally cloudy apple juice, and the tart sweetness of real maple syrup. Finely balanced with freshly squeezed lemon juice and tangy ginger ale, it creates a multifaceted taste experience that evokes sunny walks and convivial evenings.

The fine carbonation from the tap allows the warm vanilla and oak notes of the whiskey to unfold particularly harmoniously. Freshly poured into a glass over crackling ice, garnished with a crisp apple slice and a sprig of rosemary, you'll give your next party with friends a distinctive bar feel, all without time-consuming shaking.
