Ingredients <\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Vodka <\/strong>– Choose a quality vodka such as Ketel One, Tito’s or Grey Goose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Apple Juice<\/strong> – The apple flavor in this recipe comes from both apple juice and the schnapps liqueur.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sour Apple Schnapps<\/strong> – This is where the sour apple flavor comes in as well as the green color. They also make Apple Schnapps in red if you prefer that. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Lemon Juice<\/strong> – Freshly squeezed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Optional Garnish<\/strong> – We like to use a slice of Granny Smith apple as an optional garnish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You’ll see in the photo below I used a sparkling apple juice for the Appletinis pictured here, but this is not necessary. Any apple juice will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/best-Appletini.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDirections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In a cocktail shaker, add all ingredients. Then add ice. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels very cold against your hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a Granny Smith apple slice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Appletini-ingredients.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTips & Substitutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- You could use gin instead of vodka if you prefer. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Any kind of apple juice works fine. You could also use an apple cider for this recipe. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Store clean martini glasses in your freezer and you’ll always have a chilled glass ready for when you need it. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you don’t have a cocktail shaker<\/a>, a mason jar with a lid will also work. Simply strain through a cocktail strainer<\/a> to keep the ice from getting into your chilled drink. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
History of the Appletini <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This drink was created on the Fourth of July in West Hollywood at a bar called Lola’s. The owner, Loren \u201cLola\u201d Dunsworth, was approached by reps from Ketel One vodka to create a signature martini. She noticed an unused bottle of apple schnapps and asked bartender Adam Karsten to mix up a drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In pop culture, the Appletini was the drink Zach Braff\u2019s character ordered on Scrubs<\/em>. It was also the drink of choice for Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker’s meeting in The Social Network <\/em>movie. Why not enjoy a delicious Appletini?<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Appletini.jpg\")
