Tips for Making This Appletini Recipe

  • Instead of using apple vodka, you  can substitute 1 ounce of apple cider in place of the apple vodka.
  • Don’t have apple juice? Try using white grape juice instead! This will taste just as good and is a great substitution if you want to make the drink  non-alcoholic.
  • To make your drink even sweeter, use a different flavored vodka. There are many different flavors available, from whipped cream and cheesecake to gingerbread and chocolate!

To really spruce up this recipe, try using apple or cinnamon stick slices as a garnish for your drink. This adds an extra touch of sweetness and is sure to make your cocktail even more irresistible!

How to Store an Appletini

If you have leftover appletinis, it’s important to store them properly to prevent the drink from spoiling. To do this, be sure to place your cocktail in an airtight container and refrigerate it right away. This will help keep out any bacteria or microbes that could contaminate your drink and cause it to spoil more quickly.

Common Questions

How can I get that very neon green color to my appletini?

If you can find apple sour pucker, this gives appletinis that neon green luck. This ingredient can be hard to find. To get that classic color, you will want to use half an ounce of the apple sour mix instead of the traditional sour mix.

Can these be made up ahead of time?

You can mix all your ingredients ahead of time, but I don’t shake them with ice until you’re ready to serve. This way, your drinks are perfectly chilled when you would like them.

Some people also like to pre-garnish their drinks with a slice of apple, so they are ready to enjoy right away. However you prefer to make this Appletini recipe, the important thing is that you always use high quality ingredients for the best flavor.
