Apple Martini Recipes

Reshma Jirage
Apple martini is popularly named as appletini. It is a wonderful variation of the classic martini.
The classic martini is made from vodka or gin, which is shaken or stirred, and garnished with olive or a lemon twist. Apple martini is a vibrant green version of traditional vodka martini. It is typically a cocktail that is made from combination of vodka and apple cider, apple juice, or apple liqueur.
Apple martini can be prepared in different variations. One of the most common variations of appletini is Rumpletini. While preparing this type of martini, vodka is replaced with light rum. An addition of 1 ounce of ginger ale and a splash of lime juice offers a sour apple flavor. You can prepare red apple martini by using 1 ounce of apple vodka in place of regular vodka and apple schnapps.
