Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka vanilla or caramel-flavored recommended
- 1 oz sour apple liqueur
- 1 oz caramel sauce
- 1 oz apple cider
- Ice enough to fill a shaker halfway
- Caramel drizzle, thin apple slice, or cinnamon (optional granishes)
Instructions
- Drizzle caramel sauce around the inside rim of a martini glass and set it aside.
- For an extra touch, chill the glass in the freezer beforehand.
- In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz vodka, 1 oz sour apple liqueur, 1 oz caramel sauce, and 1 oz apple cider.
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice. This will chill the cocktail and slightly dilute it for a balanced flavor.
- Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds until the drink is well mixed and ice-cold.
- Use the shaker’s built-in strainer to pour the cocktail into the prepared martini glass.
- If your shaker doesn’t have a strainer, a small kitchen sieve works as a substitute.
- Add a thin apple slice on the rim, float it in the drink, or sprinkle cinnamon for a warm, festive touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
