¼oz. St. Elizabeth All Spice Dram
½oz. freshly pressed lime juice

Apple Cider Martini
from Mirbeau Inn & Spa

1oz. vodka

0.5oz. Calvados or any apple brandy
Brown sugar simple syrup
Raw brown sugar mixed with cinnamon and nutmeg

Depending on desired taste, you can make equal parts vodka and cider. Makes one cocktail to be served up or on the rocks.

1. To make brown sugar simple syrup: in squeeze bottle or container that can withstand hot water, mix equal parts brown sugar and simmering to boiling water. Stir until sugar is dissolved, let cool.
2. Mix liquor and cider in martini shaker with ice. Add simple syrup to taste, average 2 tablespoons.
3. Prepare glass by taking a wedge of desired citrus (we recommend orange) and rub around rim. Pour raw brown sugar mixture evenly on a plate or saucer.
4. Shake drink mixture until martini shaker becomes cold and almost frosty on the outside.
5. Using strainer pour into glass. If enjoying on the rocks, add ice cubes after you pour to control ice to cocktail ratio. Garnish with apple slice or cinnamon stick.
