The Apple Martini

If you prefer your drinks not to come in luminous green like the Appletini, the fun apple flavour can easily be merged with a classic vodka martini (or Kangaroo, for the pedants out there!) for a classy Apple Martini. And if martinis get you going, you should definitely check out my other videos on them!

Ingredients

  • 45ml (1 1/2oz) Vodka

  • 15ml (1/2oz) high quality apple liqueur

  • Good ice

Equipment

  • A jigger

  • A mixing glass

  • A julep strainer

  •  A bar spoon

  •  A chilled coupe or martini glass

Method

Stir all ingredients in mixing glass until cold and diluted.

Strain in to chilled glass and garnish with your apple fan.

Suggested ingredients

Belvedere vodka is rye based so the spice works really well with the apple flavour but any good quality vodka would work here.

Massanez Pomme Verte Liqueur is a high quality apple liqueur which actually tastes like fresh apples and isn’t too sweet. According to the hive mind of the Melbourne Bartender Exchange, the Giffard brand is a good option as well.

We are using Dolin Dry for the crisp herbaciousness, but Noilly Pratt would be a good alternative, just make sure it’s nice and clean.
