Yield: 2 (4-ounce) servings

• 4 ounces vodka
• 2 ounces Berentzen Apple Liquor
• 2 ounces Green apple puree (see recipe below)

Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with ice. Shake well for about 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with an apple wheel.

Green Apple Purée

• 1-2 green apples, peeled, cored and chopped
• 1/2 cup simple syrup, or as needed (see recipe below)

Combine chopped apples and simple syrup (as needed) in a blender, and purée until smooth. Use the purée as soon as possible or it will turn brown. Do not be tempted to add lemon to this mixture-it will ruin the taste.

Simple Syrup

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water

Combine equal parts sugar and water in a sauce pot and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook just until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool before using.
