Martini Recipes
GREEN APPLE MARTINI
Okay, as far as Martini Recipes go, the Green Apple Martini may seem a bit passé. Maybe it is, but I would argue this drink, along with the Cosmopolitan is still one of the most requested cocktails at any party I have hosted or catered. Maybe it’s because it just looks like a party! It’s day glow green, has a sense of humor and tastes like a Jolly Rancher! I’ve included a couple of variations in case you want to take things a step further.
Serves 1
3 ounces Apple Pucker
3 ounces good vodka
1 1/2 ounces sweet & sour mix
1 1/2 ounces 7-Up
Green apple, thinly sliced, for garnish
Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker, tumble in a handful of ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a frosted martini glass and float a thin slice of green apple on the top.
VARIATION:
Caramel Apple Martini: Add 1 1/2 ounces of caramel flavored syrup to the mix before shaking.
For a little extra color add a splash of grenadine syrup after straining into the glass, but don’t stir! Otherwise, you’ll just end up with a mottled mess. The syrup will settle to the bottom and add an extra layer of color and flavor. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
