Daughter working late shift in restaurant. Dropped my car for her and had an after-work Negroni. Then took bus home to have dinner with son.



Tomorrow public holiday, which is nice.

Non-alcoholic Birra Moretti.



Noticed by accident that my old army buddy is playing in a jazz cafe close to my work, so stopped to say hi on my way home.

Neighbor and I are fermenting some hard cider that we're planning to freeze condense into Applejack.

I will post results.

* As scumble is similar to applejack or apple pie moonshine, I researched copycat recipes for those as my starting point. Most of them recommend unsweetened apple juice, but then all of them use much more sugar than I did.
I could only find sweetened green apple juice, and had the green apple cocktail preparation that is very syrupy and sweet; if you can’t find the latter, simply add more sugar to your taste, up to 2 1/2 cups total. Be mindful, though, that the “aged” drink will taste sweeter than it feels when just mixed. Also I used plain vodka, but you could surely use green apple-flavored. If you do, maybe substitute green apple juice with regular apple juice… unlike you really like the tartness of green apples, that is!
In a large pot, heat the cider, juice, sugar, cocktail preparation (if using), cloves, 6 of the cinnamon sticks, and a little pinch of nutmeg. Smash the tonka bean and throw it in as well. Keep stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
As soon as the mixture starts to boil, revove it from heat, cover the pot, and leave it overnight so it cools down perfectly.
Stir the alcohol and vodka into the cold mixture.
Discard the soaked spices. Pour your homemade scumble into sterilized jars (1 pint mason jars are ideal, but use what you have on hand!) Into each jar, put a fresh cinnamon stick and, optionally, a chunk of dried apple.
Leave the jars to age in a dark, cool place for minimum two weeks, and one month if you can resist the temptation. Your ripened scumble will taste sweeter and actually less potent, but it’ll turn as yummy as an Apfelstrudel filling, and still pack quite a punch!
Discard the cinnamon sticks and bottle your scumble, using layers of cheesecloth (or coffee filters) to filter out the sediment. If you put dried apple chunks inside the jars, they’ll by now have plumped up nicely, and will make for a delightful boozy treat!
The bottles are best kept in the fridge, and must be refrigerated when opened.
You can sip scumble cold or room temperature, or even warm it up for the full sinus-clearing experience!
