Appletini Ingredients
Five main ingredients plus one for garnish equals the perfect appletini recipe! Read more about the ingredients and what they do for this fruity cocktail.
- Vodka: In a vodka-forward cocktail like the classic Martini Recipe, a good quality vodka is crucial. The apple flavors take some attention away from the taste of the vodka in this recipe, so a top-shelf vodka isn’t necessary. A mid-level vodka like Tito’s would work well.
- Simple syrup: Adding just enough sweetness to balance the tartness of the other ingredients, Homemade Simple Syrup is very easy to make and great to have on hand for other cocktail recipes.
- Apple Schnapps: If you prefer a less boozy drink, replace the apple schnapps with apple juice. You can also use Calvados, which is a brandy that has been distilled from a special kind of apple cider.
- Apple juice: Keep small bottles of apple juice in your pantry to have handy anytime a craving for an appletini strikes.
- Triple sec: This orange-flavored liqueur could also be replaced with a higher-end liqueur like Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
- Green apple slice: This is optional but makes the perfect garnish.
