Every year my girlfriend Kathy and I search for the season’s perfect summer and holiday cocktail. Well this year I am voting for the Apple Crisp Martini to launch the Thanksgiving holiday dinner! It has all the flavors of Fall but with a fun twist of a liqueur that you don’t hear about often enough.
Quite a few years back my husband and I were in Baja at Thanksgiving and I just had to find some Tuaca. I remembered how unique it was and thought that it was made in Mexico. I couldn’t understand why everyone I asked about it, and in my very best Spanish, had not heard of it…. Well it turns out that Tuaca is Italian so silly me no wonder they didn’t have any. You don’t have to go to Italy to find this interesting liqueur but once you try it you will be looking for more cocktails to make with it. It is great in a shooter with coffee and Tuaca – a Hot Shot!
Apple Crisp Martini
Ingredients:
2 parts GREY GOOSE® L’Orange Flavored Vodka
1 lemon wedge
1 tbs cinnamon sugar (equal parts cinnamon and sugar)
1/4 small apple diced
1/2 part simple syrup
1/2 part Tuaca® Liqueur
3/4 parts fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
Rub the lemon wedge around rim of martini glass then roll into the cinnamon sugar. In a cocktail shaker, muddle together the diced apple and simple syrup.
Add ice and the remaining ingredients. Shake well until the outside of the shaker is frosted and beaded with sweat. Strain into the prepared martini glass.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! There is so much to be grateful for!
