The Origin of the Appletini | Eater
"A nightclub known for ’70s and ’80s cover bands that attracted people in their early 20s and helped popularize the beverage among a younger audience; bartenders there adapted the original recipe with theatrical touches like neon red maraschino cherries and a dash of grenadine that sank to the bottom, creating a colorblocked, candy‑style presentation that fueled the drink’s overnight spread in club culture." - Eliza Brooke
