The Martini

Its been a great Christmas weekend. Figured I would write a few lines on my newest drink of choice - the Martini.

The Classic is always a hit: chilled Absolut vodka in a cocktail glass which was rinsed with dry Vermouth. An olive or two as garnish and it makes for a great drink.

Here are some variations of the Martini I consumed this weekend and must say that I was impressed with.

The Sour Apple Martini:
1 part Absolut Vodka
1/4 part Sour Apple Pucker Schnapps
1/4 part Cointreau
1/2 part fresh lemon juice

The Lemon Drop Martini:
1 part Absolut Citron vodka
1 tsp sugar
1/4 lemon cut in wedges
(shake all ingredients in an ice filled shaker)


The Apple Martini:
1 part Absolut Vodka
1 part Sour Apple Pucker Schnapps
1 part Apple Juice
garnish with slice of green apple
