Salted Caramel Apple Martini

This salted caramel apple martini is like biting into a caramel apple. A slightly sweet apple martini enhanced with a caramel rim and apple cider. After making my salted caramel sauce, I’ve been trying to find any and all recipes that I can incorporate this delicious sauce in. So, you should have known that I wouldn’t leave a holiday cocktail with caramel out of the mix! This drink is really more of a fall cocktail recipe. It’s the time when you’ll start to see apple cider making its way onto the shelves. A time where people go picking apples in orchards. But since apple cider tends to linger on the shelves through Christmas, I felt it was the perfect martini recipe to add to our 25 drinks of Christmas!

A delightful change in pace from the previous drinks, but I really love the salty with the sweetness of the drink. You can add a little kosher salt to the rim of the martini glass as well if the salted caramel rim just isn’t enough to satisfy your salty side 😛

This cocktail is super easy to concoct. Fresh apple cider and caramel flavored vodka make up this fabulous holiday drink.

If you don’t have an apple orchard in your area, most grocery stores carry freshly pressed apple cider in their produce department. A quick trip to the liquor or grocery store (depending on where you live) and you’ll find many different brands of caramel flavored vodka to choose from.

Be sure to chill your martini glass with ice water before drizzling salted caramel topping on the inside and the rim of your glass.
