Cursed Apple Martini (Printer-Friendly)

A shimmering mix of apple vodka, unfiltered cider, and golden glitter for festive occasions.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Liquors and Mixers

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)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Pour a thin layer of honey onto a plate. Gently roll the rim of a chilled martini glass in the honey until evenly coated. Then dip the honeyed rim into edible gold glitter placed on a second plate to create a golden border. Chill the glass to set the garnish.
02 - Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add apple vodka, unfiltered apple cider, triple sec, grenadine, and 0.25 teaspoon edible gold glitter. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to blend and chill while dispersing the glitter evenly.
03 - Double strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass using a fine mesh sieve to ensure a smooth texture and showcase the shimmering effect. Serve immediately to maximize freshness and visual appeal.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - Allow honey on the glass rim to settle for 30 seconds before applying glitter to achieve a crisp, even coating that won’t drip. Use beverage-specific edible glitter to prevent clumping or off-flavors. Chill all ingredients and tools beforehand to maintain the cocktail's crisp quality.
02 - Double strain using a standard strainer and fine mesh sieve to remove ice shards for a clear, smooth drink.
