When in Rome, do as Romans do. When in Bel Air, avoid silent killers. This is how we nicknamed drinks prepared by our awesome hostess, Sherry. In a typically Polish fashion, we wanted to spend the evening getting wasted on vodka. Sherry suggested that we should try what she dubbed 'Apple Martini,' a mix of apple schnapps, lemon schnapps and cranberry juice. Our first impression was that the drink resembled an innocuously refreshing smoothie rather than an alcoholic beverage. It was necessary to change our mind a couple hours later when we ended up swaying all over the place. The drink had to be re-named 'Smoothie Criminal.' Interestingly enough, there seemed to be no fixed proportions of the ingredients. Every single time, Sherry was becoming increasingly generous with the amount of schnapps poured into her shaker. The final version of 'Apple Martini' consisted of: 49% - lemon-flavored vodka, 49% - apple schanpps, 2% - cranberry juice. No wonder the next morning we discovered all the bottles had been emptied.
