How to Make an Appletini: The Sweet and Sour Cocktail That Never Goes Out of Style

If you’re looking for a fun and fruity cocktail that’s easy to make and tastes like candy, look no further than the appletini. This bright green drink is a classic that has been around since the late 1990s, and it’s still a popular choice for many drinkers who love its sweet and sour flavor.

The appletini, also known as the apple martini, is a cocktail made with vodka and one or more of apple juice, apple cider, apple liqueur, or apple brandy. It’s not a true martini, but it’s one of many drinks that use the term martini in their names. The appletini was invented in 1996 at Lola’s, a restaurant in West Hollywood, by a bartender named Adam Karsten. He created the drink using DeKuyper’s Sour Apple Pucker, a green apple schnapps that gives the drink its signature color and taste. He named it the “Adam’s Apple Martini”, but it soon became known simply as the appletini

The appletini is a simple drink to make at home, and you only need a few ingredients. The basic recipe is:

• 4.5 cl (3 parts) vodka
• 1.5 cl (1 part) apple schnapps (like Sour Apple Pucker or other)
• 1.5 cl (1 part) triple sec
• Ice cubes

To make an appletini, follow these steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
• Pour the Aris vodka, apple schnapps, and triple sec into the shaker.
• Shake well until the shaker is cold.
• Strain the drink into a chilled cocktail glass.
• Garnish with an apple slice or a cherry if you like.

Enjoy your appletini!

There are many variations of the appletini that you can try, depending on your preference and what you have on hand. Here are some ideas:

• Add some lemon juice or sweet and sour mix to balance out the sweetness of the apple schnapps.
• Use flavored vodka, such as citrus or pear, to add some complexity to the drink.
• Use apple liqueur or Calvados (apple brandy) instead of apple schnapps for a more natural apple flavor.
• Use apple juice or cider instead of apple schnapps for a lighter and less alcoholic drink.

The appletini is a drink that has been featured in many movies and TV shows, such as Scrubs, Two and a Half Men, Enchanted, and The Social Network. It’s often seen as a girly or effeminate drink, but anyone can enjoy its refreshing and delicious taste. The appletini is a drink that never goes out of style, and it’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you want to impress your friends, celebrate something special, or just relax after a long day, an appletini is always a good choice.
