Cursed Apple Martini (Printer-Friendly Version)

An elegant blend of apple vodka, cider, and gold shimmer ideal for festive celebrations.

# What You'll Need:

→ Liquids

01 - 2 fl oz apple vodka
02 - 1 fl oz unfiltered apple cider
03 - 0.5 fl oz triple sec orange liqueur
04 - 0.5 fl oz grenadine syrup

→ Garnish

05 - 0.25 tsp edible gold glitter for shimmer
06 - Honey for rimming
07 - Edible gold glitter for rim garnish

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Pour a thin layer of honey onto a plate and gently coat the rim of a chilled martini glass by rolling it in the honey evenly.
02 - Sprinkle edible gold glitter onto a second plate, then dip the honey-coated rim of the glass into the glitter to form a sparkling golden border. Chill the glass again to set the garnish.
03 - In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add apple vodka, unfiltered apple cider, triple sec, grenadine, and 0.25 teaspoon edible gold glitter. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to chill and distribute the glitter evenly.
04 - Double strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass using a fine mesh sieve and a standard strainer to ensure a smooth texture and highlight the shimmer. Serve immediately for optimal presentation and freshness.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Let the honey rim settle for 30 seconds before dipping in glitter to prevent dripping. Use food-grade edible glitter designed for beverages. Chill all ingredients and glassware prior to mixing to preserve frosty quality and maintain shimmer suspension.
