Equipment
- 1 Glass
- 1 Cocktail Shaker
- 1 Knife
Ingredients
- 1 apple Sliced
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider
- 1 oz. gin

Instructions
- Chill Your Glassware: Start by chilling your martini glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. This will help ensure your cocktail stays cold and refreshing.
- Prepare the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin and apple cider. Add a handful of ice cubes and give it a vigorous shake for about 15-20 seconds.
- Strain and Serve: Remove the chilled martini glasses from the freezer. Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into the prepared glass.

- Enjoy: Serve the Apple Cider Martini immediately.
Notes
Tips for Customization:
Use Vodka: By combining the crisp apple cider with the sophisticated character of vodka, you can craft a drink that perfectly offers the essence of the fall season.
Use Flavoured Gin: For an extra layer of flavour, consider using a flavoured gin. This can add an additional depth of autumnal notes to the drink.
Rim the Glasses: For a festive touch, you can rim the martini glass with a mixture of ground cinnamon and sugar before pouring the cocktail.
Incorporate Spices: A dash of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice can also be added to the cocktail shaker to further enhance the fall flavours of the season.
Experiment with Garnishes: In addition to apple slices, you can also try garnishing the drinks with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or even a sprinkle of crushed graham cracker crumbs.
