It's interesting noting the proportion of gin vs. vodka martinis as I grew up thinking that gin was the martini standard and vodka had to be requested.

Personally I do not care for the taste of drinking little pine trees and prefer my ketel dirty, with big fat olives and a faint vapor trail of vermouth...

From 40 years ago in college

Pour vanilla vodka, Schnapps and apple juice into a cocktail shaker with ice. Get chilled martini glass and you can do a couple things for garnish... I like using a squirt bottle and inside the glass just going from the bottom to the rim while turning the glass so you get a pretty swirl of caramel.If you dont have that ,Drop the sour apple candy in each glass then spoon a little bit so it hits the bottom of the glass and buries the candy...then top with a bit of liquor 43...its a nice surprise when you finish.garnish with a curl of apple peel.
