Drink of the Day: Granny Smith Apple Martini

Nothing says the holidays better than a nice and tasty fruit beverage to share in the joyous occasion. Apple and vanilla go hand-in-hand in giving you the flavors in this cocktail beverage. Add in a little melon liqueur and you have your taste buds going through euphoric bliss.

Today, I am taking advantage of the flavored vodka and schnapps to give you the flavor we are looking for. Just three ingredients gives you all the flavor you need in todays recipe. One thing to keep in mind: This recipe is all liquor. Though it may go down nice and easy, it is just as potent as a whisky on the rocks. It’s also twice as dangerous due to this fact. Just be aware and responsible and you should have no issues.

This week is going pretty quick. Already on Wednesday, so we are halfway to the weekend. The countdown to the holidays are beginning. After tasting this, you will be sure to add this to your favorites list for this season’s cocktails.

Happy Hump Day, everybody! Enjoy your day. Cheers!
