Welcome back! Thanks for joining us. The drink I’d like to show you now is called an Appletini. So it’s kind of like a variation of a Martini. Today there’s all types of “tini” type drinks. There’s a Raspetini, a Lemontini just depending what liquor or liqueur you use with the combination to make the drink. So we’re going to make an Appletini or Apple Martini called both ways and what I’m going to do this time is I’m going to show you how to make one by shaking it and what we mean by shaking it, we’re going to preach all the ingredients before we pour them in our cocktail glass.
So this is a stem cocktail glass, it’s a big one, oversize, we’re going to throw it up with ice and we’re filling up with ice because we want to preach all our glass and then we’re going to make our drink.
So we’re going to take our mixing cup with ice and our recipe calls for two ounces of vodka, there we go, 2 ounces of vodka, once again, I’m using Smirnoff’s vodka here, good vodka. And then to give it the apple taste, I’m going to use Apple pucker, this is made by DeKuyper. There are different brands; sometimes it’s called Apple Schnapps, Apple Pucker, Apple Schnapps, really the same thing. It’s sweetened liquor. It’s actually a liqueur which means that its, sugar is added to it ad Schnapps and Pucker mean the same thing and in this particular type of Apple Pucker has a sour Apple Flavor to it. So what you’re doing is you’re getting a sour apple vodka drink. Easiest way to explain it and what we want to do is we want to use about three quarters of an ounce of our Apple Pucker. Now what we’re going to do is shake our drink and here I have a shaking set, one is a tin cup, the other one is a glass one. You could buy those at most liquor supply places or on the internet, they are easy to find. And of course the last one is smaller than the middle one and then what I’m going to do is I’m going to shake it up really vigorously just like this, and what I’m doing is I’m chilling the drinks, here we go.
Make sure if you’re doing this, to shake your drinks early, we dumped the ice now out of our glass. This drink is served up so it doesn’t have any ice in it. And here we go; we’re going to straight it right in there. And there we have it, Appletini, now I’m going to kind of get fancy and I’m going to hang a piece of green apple on it, there we go, right there , our green apple and there we have it, our Appletini. So if you like kind of a sour apple taste with vodka, kind of a potent drink, here’s to you, Appletini.
