The Double Sour, Apple-Lemon Martini is a tantalizing mix that marries the sharp zest of lemon with the tart sweetness of apple. Comprising lemon juice, Absolut New Orleans vodka—informed by the vibrant spirit of the eponymous city—and apple schnapps, this cocktail is a refreshing choice for those who enjoy a balance of sour and sweet flavor profiles.
Its name, "Double Sour," acknowledges the double hit of citrus and the pucker-worthy notes associated with both the lemon and the apple component. Typically served in a classic cocktail glass, this martini provides a crisp and invigorating drinking experience, rounded out with the smoothness of vodka and often garnished with a lemon twist to accentuate its bright, citrusy character.
