Sour Apple Martini Recipe - Sour Apple and Amaretto for an Italian Twist


	Sour Apple Martini Recipe Sour Apple, Amaretto, and Vanilla Vodka This sour apple martini recipe has an Italian twist with the addition of amaretto. Don't expect a Jolly Ranchers taste - but more of a sour apple kick in the throat with an after-taste of vanilla/almond. I decided to try this recipe because I had it sitting in my stack of I'm-gonna-make-this-drink-sometime-in-the-future. Well the future hit when the small DeKruyper Sour Apple Schnapps bottle went on a major sale. (I usually wait to make the oddball martinis when the store is clearing out all the odds and ends). My husband says this tastes like cough syrup. So obviously I'm not making it any time soon for him. As for me the apple sour part bites so hard I have to serve myself a SMALL glass. Too, I could just modify the ratios. I've posted with the ratios I used - and feel free to experiment. Now if this isn't the type of sour apple martini recipe you were looking for, scroll below and check out the list of Italian drinks and martinis that I have on my site. I've made them all and I drink them. So - this isn't a willy nilly post of what I think might work. Experiment away and see the substitution section below for ideas. Thanks for stopping by and while you are here - check out the homepage of Italian dessert recipes. Lisa Sour Apple Martini Recipe YIELD: 1 Serving Ingredients: * 3/4 oz amaretto * 1 1/2 oz DeKruyper Sour Apple Schnapps (see substitution ideas) * 3/4 oz vanilla vodka Procedure * Shake together. * Serve and enjoy! What is amaretto? An Italian liqueur. If you ask most people what it tastes like - you will hear " sweet almonds". There is a lot more to making amaretto than just almonds. But that is the predominant flavor. Can I skip the amaretto? Sure, but since I only mix and cook Italian - AND that is all I write....I really wouldn't be a good source on what ratios to use. Sorry. You might want to poke around elsewhere if you want to skip the amaretto. Really it's a super liqueur. We use it tons! I have over 50+ desserts and drinks on this site alone that use amaretto. Can I use vanilla rum? Nope. You need to use a vodka of some sorts. Vodka is infused with the vanilla. A rum is flavored with vanilla and will throw the drink off. Does it have to be DeKruyper Sour Apple Schnapps? Nope! You just need a sour apple liqueur. The brand doesn't matter. But that is how you get that sour apple taste. I just happened to get the DeKruyper Sour Apple Schnapps because it was less than $5.00 (USD) the day I was at the store. Can I skip the amaretto? Back to the top of the sour apple martini recipe.

Ok, not MASSIVE amounts. But I do have to finish off the evening meal with a little sweet something. When I was a kid my health conscience mother would ration my Halloween candy. Her mantra was, "white sugar will kill you". But my Italian grandma always told me, "Everybody needs a little bit of sugar." :-) So, to get my October Halloween sugar fix I will make the traditional Italian cookie recipe, Venetian Bones of the Dead. Italians make these for the Day of the Dead on November 2nd. So - hey, our holiday in America - Halloween is the closest. So - while the neighborhood is slamming down a bunch of gross mass produced candy on October 31st, I'll have a real goodie. Oh yeah, I'll have to post it too! (Eventually!) You know how it is. Work. Kids. Clean. Cook. I'll see if Bones Of The Dead is in my grandma's first recipe file she started when she married in 1932. Most of the recipes on my site came from her influence. If they aren't in her file - then I got them from her friends. And the remainder I experimented with adapting her style. I hope she looks down and smiles this Halloween.
