Apple Martini


Here is my apple martini recipe, make sure you use freshly pressed apple juice or else it wont come out green.

INGREDIENTS
45ml vodka or gin
40ml freshly pressed apple juice
10ml lemon juice
10ml vanilla & cinnamon syrup*

Method: shake &strain
Glass: martini
Garnish: apple fan

Vanilla & Cinnamon Syrup 

2 vanilla pods
500g caster sugar
250ml water
2 cinnamon sticks

Scrape vanilla pods and break cinnamon sticks. make sugar syrup, then add remaining ingredients into a cryvac bag. Seal with pressure around 12-15 depending on volume inside each bag. If unsure seek the help of the Chef’s. Cook on medium heat for 1 hour, ensure there is a cloth on the bottom of the pot so the cryvac bag does not stick or burst. Allow to cool, then place in a covered container in refrigerator. Do not strain as flavours will intensify.

ENJOY!!!
