And Cranberry Apple Martini

Drink Recipe Ingredients:
  • 1 oz. Smirnoff Cranberry Flavored Vodka (25 oz. per bottle)
  • .5 oz. Smirnoff Green Apple Flavored Vodka (25 oz. per bottle)
  • .5 oz. cranberry juice
  • 1 slice(s) apple
* I'm thinking about things that I can make that are season appropriate and also use the resources that we have at Hampshire. Fall brings lots of apples- I'm thinking that I can make my own applesauce. I doubt I need to by Smirnoff vodka, either, but can definitely use Hampshire apples for garnish.
