Shake two ounces of vodka (I used Tito’s), two ounces of apple juice, three quarters of a spoon of grenadine and a spoon of fresh lemon juice in a shaker with ice. Pour it out in a martini glass and add an apple slice as garnish.

I like apples – especially during the holidays – but am not big into cider. This was a great aaple cocktail for a relatively warm fall evening.
