Holiday Drinks: Warm Cider Martini

This is not a way to mess up a good Martini: it's a whole different thing. This makes two:

8 oz real fresh apple cider - not apple juice
8 oz vodka
4 oz brandy
4 oz triple sec
2 oz fresh lemon juice
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp brown sugar

Stir or blenderize, then warm - not boil - in a saucepan. You can rim the Martini glass with some cinnamon sugar. Serve with a cinnamon stick.

Here's a simpler recipe, less sweet, from a pub in Lansing whence the photo.

Yes. Very nice warm winter cocktail, but not a Martini.
