Poisons: Dogwood Deli

Dogwood apple-politan at Dogwood Deli

Ingredients: Apple-infused vodka and cranberry juice garnished with local apples

Damage: $10

Skinny: Even before you taste the apple-politan, you'll fall in love as the scent of fresh apples rises from the surface of the drink. It's a fairly simple blend of apple and cranberry; a no-frills pairing of two delicious tastes. Despite its pink color, this is not a girly drink, so don't worry if you dislike sweet and sugary.—Michael Cook
