Lemonappletini Recipes

APPLETINI

Steps:

• Fill a martini glass with ice and top with water. This will get the glass chilled before pouring your tini.
• Add ice to your shaker. The more you add, the better chilled the tini will be.
• Add the vodka, schnapps and sweet-and-sour. Cover and shake vigorously for about ten seconds.
• Dump the ice and water from the martini glass. Strain the contents of the shaker into the glass.
• Garnish with a cherry, or sliver of granny apple, or lemon twist.

APPLETINI

Steps:

• Prep the apples: Core and roughly chop the washed apples.
• Make the tart apple syrup: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the apples, water, and sugar. Bring the apple mixture to a boil, and then reduce heat to low. Simmer until the apples are tender but not falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Cool the tart apple syrup: Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Strain the tart apple syrup: Strain solids through a fine mesh strainer into an airtight container. Either use immediately in your cocktail or refrigerate until ready to use.

LEMON-PEPPER CAPELLINI

Steps:

• Place water on to boil for pasta.
• In a large skillet combine olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add garlic, pepper and the lemon zest.
• Salt water when it boils then cook capellini to al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a ladle of cooking water to lemon pepper butter and stir in the lemon juice. Drain pasta and toss with lemon-pepper butter and salt, to taste. Add the basil to the pasta and serve a small bundle alongside your entree or serve as a delicate first course.

LEMON CAPELLINI

Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons of salt to a large pot of boiling water. Add the capellini and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until just al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat a large (12-inch) saute pan, add the butter, and heat until the butter is melted. Add the zest and juice of the 2 lemons. Add 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and swirl the pan to combine.
• As soon as the pasta is cooked, lift the pasta out of the water with tongs, allowing most but not all of the water to drain back into the pot, and add all the pasta to the sauce. Cook for one minute, adding pasta water to the sauce with a ladle just enough to keep the pasta moist.
• Transfer the pasta to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with more lemon zest, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and squeeze a little lemon juice on top. Serve hot.
