Me and Green Apple Martinis have a long and sorted history. The most infamous encounter between me and the Green Apple Martini is my house warming party. I had about 6 too many. You can imagine what the house tours were like....plenty of swearing and pointing out everything that's wrong. The highlight of the tour being when I'd point out the exact spot that my cat had shat on the floor earlier that day. Yes it was a fabulous housewarming party. I had a chocolate fountain and I was sooooo hung over that I couldn't believe I'd have to clean that up with all the pain I was in. But when I finally made it downstairs the next "morning". I had a moment of clarity in my life. Husband and cleaned up everything from the house party!!! Including the chocolate fountain (which is awful to clean)!!! It was that exact moment in my life that I knew I married the right person. He knew I was terribly hung over, and rather than make me suffer through the pain and humiliation of cleaning everything up, he did it all for me. It was that moment that made me think "My God, I married the right person." And then I went back to bed to wallow in my hang over.
This recipe for Green Apple Martini differs from the one I'm used to because it uses a Green Apple Syrup. I couldn't find a Green Apple Syrup and I've been looking for months. So I decided to just go ahead and make this without the syrup. I used vodka instead of gin for this because vodka is my thing. So 1 part Vodka, 1 part Sour Apple and then I decided to use the iced apple cider in place of the syrup. I figured it's sugary and apple flavoured. Well I decided wrong. I wasn't good. I couldn't drink it all. So overall I can't tell you that this is good or bad because I never really made the true recipe. I'm sure if you can find some green apple syrup that it would be good. But what I can do is give you the recipe for the House Warming Green Apple Martini.
1 part vodka
1 part Sour Apple Liqueur
1 part Sour Apple Liqueur
2 parts Granny Smith Apple Juice
Garnish with Granny Smith Apple Slice
Just don't drink 10 of them.
