14 days of love for Valentine's Day: Day 6 - Toast with homemade French Martinis

I plan to whip up a couple of sweet and delicious
French Martinis
on Valentine's Day. 
This cocktail is my favorite and the fruity sweetness
with bite of vodka is a perfect cocktail for this romantic evening. 
We often order up French Martinis when at Balthazar, one of our favorite restaurants
in New York City. They add Chambord to the French Martini recipe, which gives it a sweet and mellow taste
I recently tried this recipe from the


the salted apple bites add an even more special touch.
