Preparation

Shuck the oysters, rinse them gently and discard the liquor. Scrape the inside lightly to release the membrane. Keep the cleaned oysters refrigerated.
Just before serving, place about 10 small cubes of green apple into each oyster.
Add a pinch of lime zest and about 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) of sparkling cider.
Serve immediately. Add a few drops of Tabasco if desired for a subtle kick.
