APPLE CIDER MARTINI

Category: Beverages and Cocktails

3 to 4 ounces Apple Cider (if you want it a little stronger, use closer to 3 ounces)
1.5 ounces AppleJack Liquor
1 ounce orange curacao
Splash of lemon juice
Cinnamon-sugar mix for rim (optional)
Apple peel to garnish (optional)

Take two martini glasses and moisten the rims of the glasses with either water, simple syrup, and/or alcohol. I just used simple syrup so that the cinnamon-sugar mixture would stick to the edge. Make sure the cinnamon-sugar mixture is on a plate or bowl that is larger than the glasses so that you can tip the glasses upside down and dip them into the mixture.

Once you have your beautifully coated martini glasses, fill a martini shaker with ice, and add in the applejack, orange curacao, cider, and splash of lemon juice. Shake well. Pour out into the martini glasses, garnish with an apple slice or peel. Serves 2
