Caramel Apple Martini – Fall Cocktail Recipe

This delicious caramel apple martini uses Granny Smith apples, chopped nuts and a delicious blend of alcohol for one amazing cocktail.

Caramel apples are a fun thing to do in the fall but you don’t need to wait for the cold weather to enjoy the taste of them. Today we’ll be getting the memory of those apples in a fun vodka-based cocktail instead.

I love sweeter martinis. They make the most fun dessert drinks, especially when they combine classic fall flavors like apple and caramel

The garnish for this drink is so fun! To make it, combine 6 tablespoons packed brown sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons butter and 2 tablespoons water in a microwave safe bowl. Cook on high in 20 second increments for about 2 minute until it just starts to boil.

After you’ve made the caramel, dip the apples into it, and then dip them into some chopped peanuts. Dip the apple slices in caramel and roll in crushed nuts

For the cinnamon sugar rim, swirl a piece of one of the apples around the rim of the glass and then dip it into a plate with some cinnamon sugar.

Once your glasses are garnished, evenly divide the remainder of the caramel into the two martini glasses, and chill them in the freezer to make the caramel harden a little.

Put the apples in the fridge to make sure the caramel sets, too. They make such a nice garnish for the glass.

Making the martini is a cinch. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour the 2 ounces sour apple-flavored schnapps, 2 ounces butterscotch-flavored schnapps and 2 ounces apple-flavored vodka into it.

Shake it, pour and strain and you are done!

Just pour the drink into the prepared martini glasses. So simple to make and SO GOOD!

Caramel Apple Martini

This has become one of my favorite new cocktails. I have a sweet tooth when it comes to a mixed drink and this drink delights it.

Pair it with some salted nuts or pretzels to balance the tastes.

The caramel extra. Oh My!

For extra fun, serve this drink as a dessert! I LOVE the bit of caramel that you get to enjoy at the end of the drink. So yummy!
