Description: A bright green, candy-sweet vodka cocktail that became a symbol of 1990s "-tini" cocktail trends.
Cultural Background: Rose to popularity in the 1990s as part of a wave of sweet, colorful martini-glass drinks distantly related to the classic Martini in name only.
Tips: The lemon juice keeps the drink from tasting purely of apple candy.
Variations: Fresh muddled apple and a splash of apple juice give a more natural, less candy-forward version.
Serving Suggestion: Serve up, well chilled, in a martini glass for the full visual effect.

Q: Does this taste like real apples?
