i created this recipe last year and Mr. Picky Pants went nuts for it (if you have been following my blog, you know it’s hard to please Picky Pants).
So.. a few nights ago, Jeannette and I went to see my dear long time friend in NYC for her husbands movie premiere: “Here Comes the Boom” and at the after party we were sipping Sour Apple Martini’s. That’s when I thought, its time to make my “Candy Apple Martinis” again.
they’re similar to prepare like the Sour Apple but much more tasty with a slight cherry sweetness from the grenadine and sugar coated rim for that true Candy Apple flavor.
for Date Night this weekend, go see, “Here Comes the Boom,” it’s so funny and inspirational. Then enjoy Candy Apple Martini’s at your after party. Yum! its the perfect end to a great evening. Enjoy!
thank you Shana and Todd Garner for a fabulous evening!
