This Perfect Apple Martini Cocktail is unlike any you have ever tried. It gave me goosebumps when I took the first sip. My favorite Sour Apple Martini can be found at the Cheesecake Factory restaurant – my husband was brave enough, several years ago, to ask for the recipe. They blurted out a few ingredients that I noted mentally. Guess what? It did not work – what a flop. I was convinced their secret ingredient was missing. I don’t think I ever attempted to make another Apple Martini since then – it has been a few years.
Fast forward to now; I was looking for a cocktail drink to serve to my in-laws who were coming over for dinner. I wanted to delight them with one I had not served in the past. The game plan was to attempt to create an Apple Martini that would hopefully taste as good as my memory reminded me of the restaurant version that I loved so much. I settled on using fresh apple as the star in this cocktail. So off to shopping for some fresh organic Granny Smith apples, fresh limes, Patron, Sour Apple Pucker and Midori Liqueur.
The result was astonishingly great. My husband said it was better than the restaurant version and my in-laws enjoyed it very much.
I hope you will enjoy this cocktail as much as we did. Your feedback, comments or questions are welcome. Please use the reply feature at the end of the recipe or use the contact page to send them in. Thanks for stopping in to check out the Heavenly recipes.
