Red Apple Martini |
I just love Red Apple Martinis!!! It's so hard to find a bartender that really knows how to make one correctly!
Well, a few years ago I was out to lunch with my husband at this cute little seaside restaurant...it was a very casual place! The kind of place that you just drive up to in your boat! Flip flops and a T-shirt is the usual attire!
We walked in and sat down at the bar. The bartender was a very friendly young man, so I asked him if he knew how to make a red apple martini. He said "Yes" very proudly! So I was very anxious to see if he could back up what he said! Then he continued to make my drink!
He mixed a few things into a shaker with some crushed ice and then just did a little shake, shake, shake and poured! It was love at first sip...this was the best red apple martini I ever had! I asked him how he made it and I was so surprised at what he said!
This red apple martini was just 1 shot of vodka, 1 shot of green apple pucker and now this last ingredient is the secret! It's 1 & 1/2 shots of 100% pure cranberry juice!!! That's what tricks your tongue into thinking you're tasting a red apple!!! And it really tastes like a red apple!
Now I make my red apple martinis at home all the time! Try it... I know you will love it!
