Escalator
Orchard fruitiness with light grassiness. Easy sipping and relatively low in alcohol strength

As the creator of the Escalator, can I just say I named it just 'Escalator'; it was Simon who added 'Martini' and then some time later, decided it wasn't a martini. š

There was a time when every cocktail was a āMartiniā. Iāve changed the name from āEscalator Cocktailā to just āEscalatorā and will reshoot to replace the 20+ year old photo. Also, an opportunity to update/correct the recipe. Please can you share your spec?

We omitted the sugar syrup as our apple juice, while being unsweetened, is organic and a bit on the sweet side being made from one type of apple. Very nice before dinner. Refreshing and the apple pulls out the pear flavour from the eau0-de-vie.

is that one considered as a Martini family cocktail? just to classify it for my bibliotaste

It's not a proper Martini - too much fruit juice and no vermouth. Please see our āWhenās a Martini not a Martiniā page in our Martini area (search for āMartiniā to find the area).

Perfectly balanced fruit sweetness and dryness of the vodka. The pear flavor comes through more than the apple, although the acidity of the apple juices balances the pear which could be too sweet thus making it a good pre-dinner cocktail.
