Notes

TIFFY’S TIPS
  • Run your martini glass under a stream of water and place in the freezer to chill.
  • Substitute your favorite vodka. 
  • Slice apples just before serving or soak in one part water and one part lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Calvados is a brandy made from apples and sometimes pears.
  • Pair with a festive cocktail napkin! You know I love a themed or monogrammed napkin.
