Washington Apple Martini

Description

The Washington Apple Martini takes the familiar apple-cranberry flavour of the Washington Apple shot and gives it a colder, sharper cocktail-bar finish. Vodka provides the clean base, sour apple schnapps brings the green-apple snap, while cranberry and apple juice add colour, fruit and a soft tart edge.

It is sweet, but it should not be syrupy. The best version feels crisp, red, glossy and a little mischievous, like a party drink that dressed up for a martini glass. Shake it hard, serve it cold and let the apple bite do the talking.
