What’s in this Sour Apple Martini recipe?
Mirror mirror on the wall, what’s the best Halloween cocktail of them all? This bright green Poison Apple Martini that’s made with just four ingredients, of course!
Vodka: This is the base of our apple cocktail. Any good quality, unflavored vodka will work. Sour Apple Liqueur: Adds both the tartness and apple flavor to the martini. Lime Juice: Adds a bit more acidity to the cocktail. Lemon juice would also work! Freshly squeezed lime juice is highly recommended for the best flavor. Simple Syrup: This adds a bit of sweetness to balance out the tartness from the sour apple liqueur.
Pro Tip: Always handle dry ice with caution! Use temperature-proof gloves and never handle dry ice with your bare hands. Store dry ice in an area with plenty of ventilation. Do not eat dry ice. Consult a safety data sheet for complete safety protocols.
Halloween Martini Variations
You can replace the vodka in this poison apple martini with a similar clear spirit, such as gin, white rum, tequila, or sake. Note that this swap will change the flavor. For a lower-alcohol apple martini, swap the sour apple liqueur for apple juice or apple cider. For a different take, swap the sour apple liqueur for apple brandy. You can swap the lime juice for lemon juice, cointreau, or triple sec instead, if you prefer. To make your own simple syrup, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan, boil for 1 minute, then cool and refrigerate!
