Notes

Make-Ahead: Pre-mix the vodka, schnapps, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a sealed bottle and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Shake with ice just before serving.

Sweetness Control: Start with ½ fluid ounce of simple syrup, taste, then add more — you can always sweeten but can’t undo it.

Substitution: Swap simple syrup for green apple syrup (such as Monin) for a more intense apple flavour without extra sweetness.

Pro Tip: Chill your martini glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving — a warm glass will raise the drink temperature and dull the crisp apple flavour.

Garnish Upgrade: Fan a thinly sliced Granny Smith apple on the rim and brush the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
