I have had apple martinis before and never thought them a big deal, but
my husband and I stayed in the Four Seasons in Houston recently and
theirs is to die for. My husband said it is the best "lady's drink"
he's ever had.

This is the recipe the bartender gave me:

2 parts Citadelle apple vodka (you must use this brand)
2 parts Midori melon liqueur (don't be put off by this)
1 part Triple Sec
1 or 2 parts homemade sweet and sour mix (they use lemon juice, lime
juice, and a little orange juice he said and probably simple syrup -
but I don't know for sure the measurements - you can probably wing it a
little)


Unusual and scrumptious.

Your husband it right. It does sound like a ladies drink. Why do they call
it a martini?

Gen X'rs hijacked the term because "frou-frou candy-ass cocktail"

If it's served in a cocktail glass it's a martini, them's the rules now.
A lot of old shots are "martini's" now, go figure. Now to go fix
myself a crown royal martini.

Not so. A cocktail is a mixed drink. There are all kinds of cocktail
glasses. Margarita, highball, collins, old fashioned, colada, whiskey sour,
etc. Granted, the cone shaped martini glass has been associated with a few
other drinks, but they've all been typically variations of the gin martini,
like the gibson, gimlet, vodka martini. Obviously, things have evolved. In
the last 10 years, everything from grasshoppers to chocolate milkshakes are
being served in a martini glass. As a geezer, I deplore it. Shows no class
....no glass class. But, I be damned if I'll lose any sleep over it. Think
I'll have a brandy and water in a whiskey glass, instead.

How about a Budweiser martini? Bud in a martini glass :-)

Just got back from a few days in New Orleans. My drink is Martinis,
Gin goes in a Martini, not vodka, even if the waitress is pretty.
Even better is a Cajun Martini, jalapenos are seeped in the gin, and
served with a jalapenos instead of an olive.
It will wake up your taste buds.

Mebbe so, but it's a sad statement on our times! :-( In our house, or
places we frequent, a martini is gin and vermouth...period.

I'll never be guilty of patronizing one of the new "martini bars". :-)

Unusual and scrumptious, maybe, but _not_ a martini. There should be a law
governing what can be called a martini. I'm not even sure vodka should
qualify! <G>

What you had was a fruit punch, pure and simple.

I have a friend who makes something like this and he calls it an
"Apple-tini" which I think is a cute name.

I think more than one of those would have me hurling though.

Apple-tini is what I've heard them called too. It's a pretty popular drink
among some of the older residents in our neighborhood. Pear-tini, too.

Vodka is OK if you call it a "vokda martini". No other spirits are
allowed to use the work "martini", not even white rum (and vermouth.)
If you wanna get creative, you use different garnishes.

Okay, I'll give you that. I just happen to not like vodka...for anything.
Must be genetic, but it all tastes terrible to me, regardless of brand or
quality.

My favorite martinis? Gin (various brands), of course, and either with
olives or as a gibson with onions.

I don't like martinis at all. That's not the point.

There's some kind of Russian (maybe Polish) vodka I bought a few years
ago in a ridiculously tall bottle, onion shaped like a Russian Orthodox
church dome. That vodka tasted very good as straight shots if you
stored the bottle in the deep freezer (or outside tonight cuz it's gonna
drop to -15 F.)

Cheap vodka is kind of harsh even when it's super-chilled.

Vodka is so highly distilled I don't understand why it doesn't all taste
the same.

My spirit of choice lately is Seagram's gin, mixed with tonic or Fresca,
but I might have a brandy or a whiskey tonight because it's so cold.

Best regards,
Bob

The idea sounds good. As I said, houwever, I think I must be genetically
predisposed to vodka tasting terrible, something like how some people think
fresh coriander leaves taste like soap.
