revived to great effect.

Apodaca Martini

John's signature drink, this one is always a hit and highly
addictive!  Drawing on John's New Mexico heritage, mixologist
Mark Barclay created this pleasantly sweet & spicy Martini
utilizing New Mexico Chile Powder.

½ ounce fresh lemon juice
2 sprigs of mint
¼ tsp New Mexico Chile Powder
¼ ounce grenadine
1 ounce orange curacau
2 ounces gin
Cinnamon (for rimming)

Combine the lemon, mint, grenadine and New Mexico Chile
Power in a mixing glass and muddle well.  Strain into a shaker.  
Add the orange curacao and gin, and shake with ice for 1
minute.  Strain into a chilled cocktail glass rimmed with cinnamon.
