How to Make an Apple Martini
To make an apple martini, combine 3 parts vodka, 1 part Schnapps and 1 part Cointreau into a cocktail shaker. Next, add the ice, cap the shaker, and shake vigorously for 5 to 15 seconds. Pour the martini into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an apple wedge or slice. If you want your garnish to soak in the martini, simply drop the apple slice right into the drink. If not, hook the apple slice on the rim of the glass.
Add 3 parts vodka, 1 part apple schnapps, and 1 part Cointreau into the cocktail shaker. If you don't feel like measuring out every single amount, use a simple bar count where the number of seconds indicates "parts." Since the martini is three parts vodka and one part each apple schnapps and Cointreau, you could count out six seconds of vodka, then two of the other liquors for a simple ratio. You can use any amount of liquid, as long as this 3-1-1 ratio stays consistent. If you want a little extra flavor, squeeze in a touch of fresh lemon juice. Add the ice, cap the cocktail shaker, and shake vigorously. Shake for at least 5 seconds. The longer you shake, the colder the drink will get, but this may also start to water it down a bit. Most bartenders shake for 5-15 seconds. Pour the martini into a chilled glass. You can either freeze the glass ahead of time or fill it with ice water for 2-4 minutes before serving. Dump out the water, quickly dry, and pour into the chilled glass. The long stem of the martini glass is so your fingers don't have to touch much of the glass, keeping it cool. Add in ice if desired. Note, however, that most martinis do not have ice in them. A cube of ice takes off some of the alcoholic bite of the drink but keeping it cool and slightly watering it down as it melts. Garnish with an apple wedge or slice. Hook the slice on the rim of the glass, or simply drop it right in the drink to soak in the alcohol. Serve immediately, while still cold.[[Image:Make an Apple Martini Step 5 Version 2.jpg|center] Add crushed ice into a cocktail shaker. If you want a stronger drink, use ice cubes. The crushed ice will give the drink a slightly water, almost slushy-like texture that many people enjoy. However, a stronger drink needs less ice and less coolness, so cubes are a better bet. Pour in 1 part vodka, 1 part sour apple schnapps, and 2 part apple juice. If you don't feel like measuring out the ratios, use a simple count. Pour one second of vodka, one of sour apple schnapps, and two seconds of apple juice. If you want more, simply keep the ratio the same and count for longer -- four seconds for juice, and two for the liquor, for example. As long as the vodka-schnapps-apple juice ratio stays 1-1-2, you can add as much liquid as you want. Cap the cocktail shaker and shake until well chilled. This takes anywhere from 5-15 seconds. The longer you shake, the colder the drink will be. Note, however, that colder drinks tend to have less of the alcoholic bite that many people like in their drink. Strain the martini into a chilled glass. Keep your glasses in the freezer before using to ensure they are cold when the drinks are poured. If you forget to put the glass in the freezer, fill them with ice water for 3-4 minutes to get them cold quickly. Then pour out the water and pour in your drink. Drop your garnish of choice into the bottom of the glass, if desired. Most commonly this will be a slice of apple, but enterprising bartenders will try anything, including Jolly Ranchers, a drizzle of caramel, and cocktail cherries.
