Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz vodka preferably a neutral-flavor vodka
  • 1 oz green apple schnapps adds vibrant color and apple flavor
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice for citrus brightness
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup balances the tartness
  • a few shards dry ice optional, for eerie effect

Equipment

  • Shaker
  • Strainer
  • Cocktail glass

Method
 

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in the vodka, green apple schnapps, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
  2. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy, about 15-20 seconds.
  3. Fill a chilled cocktail glass with fresh ice or hold it upside down to pre-chill, then strain the cocktail into the glass through a strainer to remove ice shards.
  4. If using, carefully add a small piece of dry ice to the glass for a smoky, mystical effect.
  5. Garnish with a thin slice of green apple or a lemon twist for extra visual appeal.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the haunting, vibrant glow of the Poison Apple Martini.

Notes

Always handle dry ice with care and avoid ingestion. The dry ice creates a smoky effect that enhances the spooky presentation, but should be removed before drinking if large pieces are used.
