Not sure why the original French martini was disrespected so in this recipe. Apple cider DOES NOT belong in this recipe, nor should it be garnished with apple wedges.
I suggest 1.5 oz of mid grade vodka, Tito's or Ketel One, 1 oz pineapple juice and .5 oz Chambord. And always garnish with a fresh twist of lemon cut over the glass to add aromatics.
The apple slices didn't work for me; they just floated on top. Raspberries on a martini stick would work better.
