As you probably guessed it, today I went apple picking with my family. Big deception, we couldn’t even pick our own apple as apparently the season is already finished! Yep, seems like mid-October is too late for apple picking in Québec…it’s just too damn cold! or like we say here: “Y fait trop frette batinse!“
We still had a good time trying still ciders and ice ciders (the parents, not the kid ;)). If you can get your hands on a bottle of our fine ciders, do! Québec ice ciders are just too good to be true! You have to try it.
But anyways, this marathon isn’t about ciders is it? Here is an apple themed martini recipe which is on the sweeter side, but still holds quite a punch.
Apple Pie Martini
- 3 parts Vanilla flavored vodka
- 1/2 part Calvados
- 1/2 part Dry Vermouth
- Cinnamon & Sugar for the rim
- Apple slice for Garnish
Like any garnish, this is totally optional, but I added a cinnamon and sugar rim to this cocktail. I thought it was a welcomed addition to the strong alcohols and really made it taste like an apple pie. So if you choose to add a rim, do it now. Pour the vanilla flavored vodka, Calvados and dry vermouth in a shaker with cracked ice and shake well. Strain into the rimmed (or not, but really, you should) glass. Garnish with a tin slice of apple.
Try it!
All right, now I’m going to go eat the real thing (the pie you see in the background, that’s real baby! 😀 ) and go review my level design class for tomorrow. Have a good one!
