GOTHAM FOODIE

Every once in a while I’m inspired to create a cocktail on my own, and here’s one of them! Vkda 6100 was kind enough to supply me with a bottle of their quality vodka, and I went to work. I infused the vodka in a Mason jar by cutting 2 apples into small pieces, and pouring enough vodka in to leave some room on the top for shaking the jar. I left it in the refrigerator for 12 days (anywhere from 7 to 14 days should do the trick), while shaking or stirring it once or twice a day. The vodka will take on a yellowish color. Now here’s the recipe:

What you’ll need:

• 2 oz VDKA 6100
• 1 oz E & J Apple cognac
• 1 oz Cran-Apple juice

Combine all ingredients and pour over ice into a Martini shaker. Shake well and serve in a Martini glass, garnished with apple slices.
