Appletini

This is a gorgeous version of the classic martini that’s perfect for rocking out when you’re after a little appetiser. It’s fantastic with a good cheddar cheese and crackers; cut a few extra pieces of apple onto the appetiser board too for extra appley-ness.

  • 1 lime, sliced
  • 1 green apple, very thinly sliced

  3. Add vodka, schnapps, lemon and apple juice, plus a couple of apple slices.

  4. Shake and strain into a martini glass.
