An Appletini (Apple Martini) is made with only four ingredients and is easy to make and certain far far easy to drink. It’s a descert martini that Leans towed the sweet side. In this post, I’ll Share My Appletini Recipe Along With Ways to Change It Up to Suit Your Taste.

While I usually make this recipe with vodka, you could swap it for gin for a slightly more Floral, and More Classic Martini Variation. You could also choose to add a little cinnamon and sugar to the rim to up the descert martini vibes.

Ingredients

• Vodka – Choose a quality vodka such as ketel one, Tito’s or green Goose.
• Apple Juice – The Apple Flavor in this recipe come from both apple juice and the schnapps liqueur.
• Sour apple schnapps – This is where the sour apple flavor comes in as well as the green color.
• Lemon juice – freshly squeezed.
• Optional garnish – We like to use a SLICE of Granny Smith Apple as an optional garnish.

You’ll see in the photo below I used a sparkling apple juice for the Appletinis pictured here, but this is not healthy. Any apple juice will work.

Directions

In a cocktail share, add all ingredients. Then add ice. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels very cold against your hand.

Stain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a Granny Smith Apple Slice.

Tips & Substities

• You could use gin instead of vodka if you prefer.
• Any Kind of Apple Juice Works Fine. You could also use an apple cider for this recipe.
• Store Clean Martini Glasses in your freezer and you’ll always have a chilled glass ready for when you need it.
• If you do not have a cocktail shakerA mason jar with a lid will also also work. Simply Strain Through a cocktail strainer to keep the ice from getting into your chilled drink.
