Inexperienced Apple Ginger Martini Recipe

Whereas there could also be little about these stylish concoctions that resemble a conventional martini they’re enjoyable and attractive and clearly right here to remain and I’m okay with that.  I feel the classics and the newcomers can co-exist peacefully, don’t you?

Possibly it’s the attraction of ingesting out of the long-stemmed glass or the showy manner some are ready however there’s simply one thing enjoyable and festive about ordering a martini of any type.  My solely quibble is the plethora of artificially flavored alcohols masquerading as pure fruit flavors in cocktails.  I’d like some precise fruit in my fruity drink please!

So with that in thoughts I got down to give the ever well-liked apple martini a little bit of a makeover.  Out went the neon inexperienced and in got here tart inexperienced apple juice and a little bit of lime for freshness and acidity.  To the combination I added a fast do-it-yourself ginger infused vodka for a clear, crisp taste with a bit of warmth to it.  The consequence was a seasonal cocktail with spiciness, vivid acidity and the refined sweetness of actual recent fruit; mild and refreshing and fully sippable as we head into the autumn and winter seasons.
