Cranberry and Rosemary Christmas Spritz
A festive cocktail combining homemade rosemary syrup, gin, cranberry juice and Prosecco with fresh lemon juice for a perfectly balanced Christmas drink.
A crisp, refreshing apple martini that balances sweet and sour flavours with vodka, sour apple liqueur, and green apple syrup. Perfect for a sophisticated evening drink.
Fancy a refreshing twist on the classic martini? This tangy apple martini brings together the crisp flavour of green apples with a smooth vodka kick. It's a simple yet sophisticated cocktail that's perfect for livening up your evening.
The balance of sweet and sour in this cocktail makes every sip refreshing without being overly tart or sugary.
What makes this cocktail unique is its balance of sweet and sour. The vodka provides a clean base, allowing the apple flavours to come through. The sour apple liqueur adds a punch of tartness, while the green apple syrup rounds out the flavour with a taste of sweetness.
The result is a drink that's refreshing, with layers of apple goodness in every sip. You get the crispness of the vodka, the tang of the sour apple liqueur, and the subtle sweetness from the syrup, all working together to create something that feels both familiar and exciting. It's the kind of cocktail that doesn't take itself too seriously but still impresses.
Creating this cocktail at home is very straightforward. The process involves a good stir with ice to ensure the drink is perfectly chilled and well-mixed. A garnish of fresh Granny Smith apple not only adds a nice visual touch but also gives a hint of what's to come. Keep your martini glasses in the freezer beforehand for an extra-cold serve that makes the whole experience feel a bit more special.
Serving Suggestions
Serve ice-cold in chilled martini glasses with thin slices of Granny Smith apple for garnish. Perfect as an aperitif or evening cocktail.
