Apple Harvest Martini

Cocktail Description

The Apple Harvest Martini is autumn distilled into liquid form, capturing the essence of freshly picked apples, warm spices, and golden sunshine in a sophisticated glass.

This elegant cocktail combines the rich, apple-forward character of Roger Groult's Calvados with the deep sweetness of maple syrup and bright citrus notes from orange bitters. The fine straining creates a silky texture, while the cinnamon dust garnish adds an aromatic quality that enhances the apple notes with each sip. Perfect for cool evenings by the fire or as an elegant addition to Thanksgiving dinner, this cocktail strikes a beautiful balance between fruity sweetness and the warming complexity of aged apple brandy. It's surprisingly simple to make despite its refined flavor profile, requiring just a few quality ingredients and basic shaking technique. The Apple Harvest Martini pairs wonderfully with roasted pork, warm apple desserts, or a cheese board featuring aged cheddar and walnuts.
