This is my first cocktail created using Chakra Vodkas apple vodka. My first idea was to do a twist on the apple martini. But honestly, I’ve never had an apple martini I’ve liked. They’re usually full of artificial flavor and cloyingly sweet. I wanted to showcase the refreshingly natural apple flavor in this vodka. What if I added more complexity to the usually one-note formula of the apple martini and warmed it up a bit? This was my answer.

Shake all ingredients (including a pinch of Chinese five spice powder and a pinch of salt) well with ice, then double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a star anise.

Editor's Note

Chakra's apple-ginger vodka meets Benedictine and five spice in this savory, aromatic riff on the apple martini. A drop of sesame oil adds an unexpected, sophisticated finish.
