Ingredients

Scale

2 oz vodka (plain or caramel vodka for extra sweetness)
1 oz sour apple schnapps (for that tart apple kick)
1 oz butterscotch schnapps or caramel liqueur
1 oz apple cider (fresh-pressed for best flavor)
1/2 oz simple syrup or caramel syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
Ice cubes
Optional Garnishes: caramel sauce for the rim, apple slices, or a cinnamon stick

Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s dive into the steps for making this delightful Caramel Apple Martini. It’s as easy as pie, and I promise you’ll feel like a culinary superstar!

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

Take a martini glass and drizzle caramel sauce around the rim. For extra flair, you can dip the rim into crushed graham crackers or cinnamon sugar after applying the caramel.

Step 2: Fill the Shaker

In a cocktail shaker, add vodka, sour apple schnapps, caramel liqueur (or butterscotch schnapps), apple cider, and a few ice cubes. If you want the martini sweeter, add a splash of caramel syrup or simple syrup.

Step 3: Shake It Up

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds until the mixture is chilled and combined.

Step 4: Strain Into Glass

Strain the cocktail into your prepared martini glass. The golden hue with a hint of caramel is visually stunning.

Step 5: Garnish

Add a thin apple slice to the rim, float one inside the drink, or garnish with a cinnamon stick for an autumn vibe.

Step 6: Serve

Your Caramel Apple Martini is now ready to sip and enjoy!
