This drink proves that apple martinis don't have to hit you over the head with sugar. It came garnished with an orange slice and topped with foam, which I love. It was the color of sparkling cider but a bit murky so that I wondered if it was fresh pressed juice. Frangelico was the most prominent flavor. The drink could have benefited from a bit more apple in the mix.

Most of my posts on nightlife feature a specific cocktail that I’ve enjoyed rather than focusing on the atmosphere of the bar, club, or wine bar that I’m patronizing. Largely, that’s because I care more about what’s in my glass than I do what’s playing on the speakers. However, I am far more likely to enjoy neighborhood dive bars and wine bars than I am a club or anywhere with loud music. I’ll still give the latter a try, and if the beverages are inventive and fun, I’ll be back no matter the soundtrack!
My standard order at a bar that likely doesn’t make fancy cocktails? A whiskey and ginger beer or a gin and tonic. Learn more about my nightlife and cocktail posts here.
