Cocktail of the week with Fabrizio Musorella

Apple Martini
The 1990s was the era of the modern Martini, when endless new varieties were created in bars around the globe. They were based on the creative combination of gin or vodka, liqueurs and vermouth. Also worth a mention is the “Fruit Martini”, a variation also based on gin or vodka, cointreau (not for all recipes) lemon juice (for sharpness), sugar syrup and using any type of fresh fruit or/and fruit liqueur. The modern “tini” craze began. One of the hottest in this variety is probably the Apple Martini.
Ingredients
5cl vodka
2cl Sourz apple sour liqueur
1cl Cointreau
1cl fresh lemon juice

Preparation
Pour all the ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake sharply
Pour into a chilled cocktail glass
Garnish if you wish with a half slice of apple placed on the rim of the glass

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
