An apple martini is a cocktail that can be made with 1 1/2 oz. of vodka, 1 1/2 oz. of sour apple schnapps and a splash of sour mix. The green drink has a sweet and sour flavor that makes it ideal for summertime.
Glassware
Like its name indicates, the apple martini is served in the triangular martini glass.
Ice
The drink is chilled with ice but is served without it unless the customer requests it on the rocks.
Vodka
The martini should be made with a premium brand of vodka, such as Chopin, Grey Goose or Finlandia.
DeKuyper
DeKuyper is one of the most popular brands of sour apple schnapps that is used to make the drink.
Garnish
Green apple slices, a twist of apple rind and a sugar-rimmed glass are common garnishes. The drink can also be served plain.
Apple Juice
There are apple martini recipes that call for apple juice. Cutting back on the sour apple schnapps you add to the drink will keep it from becoming too sweet.
