Variations To An Apple Martini
We say this all the time at TPM, we provide you with a base recipe and from there you can add in or substitute out ingredients to suit your taste buds. With that said, there’s so many variations to an appletini.
- Use green melon Midori or Cointreau to change out the flavors with your liqueur.
- The simple syrup is going to add sweetness to the drink as it’s a combination of water and syrup. This is great to add if the cocktail is too tart or dry.
- If you can’t find an apple vodka, you can get the apple flavor from apple cider or apple juice. You can then add in plain vodka.
- If you are a sour martini kinda person, use green apple Schnapps, which is seemingly often preferred. This will also add a green hue to the drink. You’ll want to add a splash of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.
How Do I Make A Dry Martini?
If you are a dry martini drinker, you’ll want to combine 1 1/2 ounces of premium vodka and 1/2 ounce of apple liqueur or Calvados, apple brandy, and a dry vermouth. Shake it with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
