Okay, you got me. This is basically an appletini, but I wanted to have something green to drink on St. Patricks’s day, so this is what I decided on. Okay, I am fully aware that the traditional drink for St. Patty’s Day is green beer but I have to confess that…I don’t really like beer.  *Screech!*  I know, I know.  I shouldn’t say it too loudly or I will get my Wisconsin membership card taken away but I think there is a time and a place for beer.  A hot summer day is a perfect example.   Now, green beer?  I don’t think there is ever a time or place for that.  Just my humble opinion…

• 2 parts vodka (This is not the time for Silver Wolf, people. Splurge for something good, even if it is just a tiny bottle)
• 1 part apple pucker (I cannot believe that I am over the age of 19 and just made a drink that includes pucker in the recipe but its just enough to give it the taste of apple.  You can also use apple vodka, but that would be a really strong drink)
• splash of sweet and sour

Mix together with ice in a shaker.  Pour in a glass and enjoy!  Top o’ the mornin’ to ya!  (Okay, yeah, you probably shouldn’t be drinking this in the morning, but “top o’ the evenin’” doesn’t have the same ring to it.)
