Cooking Notes

Not sure why the original French martini was disrespected so in this recipe. Apple cider DOES NOT belong in this recipe, nor should it be garnished with apple wedges.

I suggest 1.5 oz of mid grade vodka, Tito's or Ketel One, 1 oz pineapple juice and .5 oz Chambord. And always garnish with a fresh twist of lemon cut over the glass to add aromatics.

The apple slices didn't work for me; they just floated on top. Raspberries on a martini stick would work better.
