Ingredients

-
1,5 cl of green apple liqueur
Directions
The Apple Martini, also called Appletini, is a perfect cocktail, self-referential, sweet, despotic and all focused on the sweet and sour flavor of the apple: a declaration of love for the green fruit.
As concept it resembles the Japanese Slipper cocktail, which is prepared with Midori, it is a cocktail that you hate or love: there are no half measures.
The Apple Martini drink is warm, enveloping and just enough refreshed by the sharp touch of triple sec, perfect for any time of day, even though it gives its best with desserts with fresh fruit, fruit salads, apple crumble, apple pie or ice cream.
Pay attention to the doses: the Apple Martini is one of those aromatic, but monolithic, cocktails that relays on a perfect balance between sweetness and alcohol, since there are no juices to refresh or correct the drink.
About the history of the Appletini there isn’t much to say: it’s a Martini cocktail variant, a son born from the proliferation of the Martini-mania. But not for this reason it should be considered as a minor cocktails, in fact if you can find an excellent green apple liqueur, the Appletini will become one of your best friends. As long as you like green apples!
