Martini Break! (St. Patty's Day Edition)

Martini Break - Green Apple Martini

Greetings Divas! And Happy St. Patrick’s Day! In honor of the holiday, I thought that I’d present a classic martini that so happens to be green: the Green Apple Martini. In the spirit of a true Professional Diva, however, I have put my own little spin on this recipe. Why not! I’m hoping this martini will serve as a sexy alternative for those of you who are not a fan of beer (like myself). You can still indulge in the festivities of St. Patty’s Day while sipping on a tasty martini. Enjoy!

Ingredients

3 oz of Apple-Flavored Vodka

2 oz of Sour Apple Schnapps

2 oz White Cranberry Juice

Cocktail Sugar (Dyed Green With Food Coloring)

Ice

Recipe

- In a shaker, combine ice, vodka, apple schnapps, and cranberry juice. Shake!

- Lace the rim of a chilled martini glass with green cocktail sugar.

- Strain mixture into waiting martini glass.

There you go! A perfect St. Patty’s Cocktail for a well-deserving Diva.

Drink Responsibly!
