Good Eats: Apple Cider Cocktail Recipe

September 9th, 2013 • BY

A lot has changed at Salish Lodge & Spa, located about 30 miles east of Seattle, since it opened as an eight-room inn in 1916. But one thing, happily, hasn’t: its devotion to really good food.

The latest manifestation of Salish’s foodie ethos is the installation of an apiary on the hill overlooking the lodge. Now, every year, beekeepers rake in over 2,400 pounds of organic honey, which shows up all over the hotel, from the morning biscuits to the body scrubs in the spa.

The Attic, one of the lodge’s eateries, recently debuted Salish Honey Ale (also served at Seattle’s Tom Douglas’ Home Remedy inside Via6) and this apple cider cocktail, which is our new favorite honey-inspired libation.

Salish Honey Bee & Apple Cider Cocktail Recipe

1.5 oz. bourbon

1 oz. fresh apple cider

.25 oz. Cointreau

2 dashes of bitters

drizzle of Salish honey (or any local honey)

1 orange twist  

Drizzle honey in a chilled martini glass. In a shaker, combine bourbon, apple cider, cointreau, and bitters. Shake and strain into glass. Garnish with orange twist.

About the lodge: You might recognize the exterior of Salish Lodge (from $189; salishlodge.com) from Twin Peaks, which filmed here. Happily, the interior was filmed elsewhere—and the 84 rooms are a heck of a lot more welcoming and cozy than the spooky early-’90s television series. Rooms have giant jetted tubs, fireplaces, and vistas over the Snoqualmie River, plus unusual amenities like a pillow menu. Hiking, fishing, skiing, horseback riding, and mountain biking are all within striking distance, but no one will look askance if the spa and the views prove too satisfying to go much of anywhere.
