Apple Pie Martini

Well, admittedly, this is a "girly" one. My quote after drinking: "I'd drink it if nobody was watching". This is one of those longer martinis that cuts the bite of the vodka significantly. It's very sweet, but the flavours balance quite well (from memory).
  • 1.75 oz vodka
  • 0.75 oz Monin cinnamon syrup, or Goldschlager
  • 1.5 oz apple juice
  • 1.5 oz red cranberry juice

Shake with ice, strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an apple slice.

A very agreeable drink. As the title suggests, this combines apple and cinnamon flavours very pleasantly. The original recipe called for Goldschlager, a ridiculously expensive cinnamon schnapps with gold flakes. I had no such money, so I used a non-alcoholic syrup: Monin 'cannelle' flavoured. Guys: drink this when no one else is around.
