The Apple Martini, also known as the "Appletini," is a crisp and sweet concoction that brings a fruity twist to the classic martini. This cocktail typically combines vodka with the tartness of apple schnapps and the citrus notes of Cointreau, resulting in a vibrant and refreshing drink.

Its bright green hue, often derived from the apple schnapps, helps create a visually appealing presentation. Served in a cocktail glass, it is commonly garnished with a slice of apple and sometimes a cherry to enhance its aesthetic appeal as well as to complement the apple flavor profile.

The Apple Martini has gained popularity for its enjoyable balance of sweetness and tartness, making it a favored choice for those seeking a playful and modern take on traditional martini offerings.

Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

The Apple Martini, or "Appletini," cleverly balances the crisp bite of apple schnapps with the smooth depth of vodka and a whisper of citrus from Cointreau, resulting in a refreshingly sweet yet tart concoction. Its eye-catching green hue and playful apple-cherry garnish make it a visually appealing choice that's not just another martini but a delightful twist on the classic, making it a hit for those who enjoy a zesty, fruit-forward cocktail.
