Apple Soju Cocktails image

"This refreshing aperitif, a brainchild of David Arnold of the French Culinary Institute, bathes crisp matchsticks of Pink Lady apple with soju (a Korean spirit) and a little sparkle." Gourmet Magazine, 10/07 edition. I saw this cocktail and it looked interesting - thought I'd post it and see what kind of reaction it got. Chilling time at least 30 mins and up to 2 hours.
