Cocktail Interlude

Today two cocktails. The Cocktail before Movie is so named, because my better half made it before a the movie started we wanted to see. Magnifique Le Apple is an apple martini.



The Cocktail before the Movie

Materials:
Cocktail shaker
Strainer
Martini Glasses

Ingredients:
1 measure Vodka (we used Stolichnya Elit)
2 measures pear juice (Sunrasya in our case)
2 measures cranberry juice (Ocean Spray, but use any you prefer)


Garnish:
2 strawberries
2 maraschino cherries

Add the vodka, pear juice and cranberry juice to the shaker. Shake for 30 seconds, strain the cocktail and fill into Martini glasses, add garnishes to your liking.



Magnifique Le Apple

Material:
Cocktail Shaker
Strainer 
Martini Glasses


Ingredients:
1 measure vodka (we used Stolichnaya Elit)
1 measure water (we used still water)
1 measure apple juice (we used Copella, a British company)
1/2 measure grenadine

Decoration:
1 Cinnamon stick
thinly sliced apple pieces


Start with the vodka, add water, apple juice and grenadine to the shaker. Shake for 30 seconds - the grenadine should add a nice red color to the cocktail - strain it into a martini glass, garnish with apple pieces or cinnamon stick, but it's up to you, if you want to use something else or don't garnish.
