Green Martini

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes, allowing them to chill the interior of the shaker for a few seconds.

Pour 2 oz of vodka or gin into the shaker with the ice.

Add ½ to 1 oz of Midori or Apple Pucker liqueur, depending on desired sweetness and intensity.

Close the shaker securely and shake vigorously for approximately 10 seconds until the exterior becomes frosted.

Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass using a cocktail strainer, pouring slowly to separate ice from the liquid.

Garnish the rim or interior of the glass with the selected garnish—such as a cocktail olive, lime twist, or candied apple slice—and serve immediately.
