Spirits-forward, with a trio of spirits, and vermouth as befits the Martini name. Apple notes are well integrated rather than in your face.

Split Apple Martini - calvados, vodka, apple juice and bianco americano.
Calvados Appletini - calvados, apple juice, lemon juice and sugar syrup.

Adapted from a recipe created in 2022 by Julie Reiner at Milady's in New York City, USA. The original recipe omits sour apple liqueur and apple juice and instead combines the vodka and gin in a Granny Smith green apple infusion.
