The Perfect N.y. City Apple Martini

My favorite drink is the Apple Martini. I moved to Texas and couldn't find a decent Apple Martini to save my life. I finally found one at the local Italian restaurant down the street. The owner claims to have gone to NYC in search of recipes for food and drinks. He said he got this from a very upscale, fancy hotel for the rich and famous. Whether or not he did, I don't care. I just love these!
