The Brooklyntini

So as this is my first "official" drink for this blog I thought it would be appropriate to share my signature cocktail. The Brooklyntini was inspired by one of my friends who bought me a bottle of Absolute Brooklyn for my birthday.
This martini is simple, the core idea is to  soften the flavor of the vodka to allow taste of the apple and ginger to come though. Here is the recipe:

One ounce of Brooklyn (or Orient Apple)
One ounce of Vanilla Vodka
Two ounces of Apple Juice
A splash of Grenadine
Lime wheel for garnish

The nice thing about this recipe is that you can substitute the ingredients to make many other martinis.
