Preparation

Step 1

1. Rub orange wedges around the rims of 12 martini glasses. Dip rims into a dish of sugar to coat rims; set aside.

2. In a pitcher combine vodka, apple juice concentrate, and vermouth. Place ice cubes in a martini shaker. For each drink, add 1/3 cup of the syrup mixture; shake. Strain into one of the prepared martini glasses. If desired, garnish with orange peel twists.

Orange Martinis: Prepare as above, except substitute 6 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed, for the apple juice concentrate. Omit the orange peel garnish.
