My “Red Delicious” Martini
Today’s late, late post (sorry, holiday rush stuff) brings us one of my personal concoctions. I can’t - and won’t - say that I was the first person to come up with this drink, but I can say that I came up with it on my own, while having guests over at my place last Christmas. I just won’t say I created it first, because: 1)I’m not an egomaniac; and 2) I don’t want to start one of those epic “who invented which cocktail” battles that you see on Wikipedia. Anyhow, as the name (and picture) suggests, this is meant to taste somewhat akin to a red delicious apple.
The Underground “Red Delicious” Martini - Recipe:
- 2 oz. Vodka
- 1 oz. Green Apple Schnapps
- 0.5 oz. Triple Sec
- 1 oz. Grenadine
- Splash of Rose’s Lime Juice
- 1 Green Maraschino Cherry
Chill the martini glass before mixing. Pour the ingredients into a shaker with ice cubes. Shake well. Place a cherry into the martini glass, then strain into the glass. Serve and/or enjoy.

It really does come out red; I promise. Although you did remind me that I got a number wrong up there, thanks.
