This is a delightful cocktail with the great taste of caramel apples. Yes, it is strong…..it is straight alcohol after all, but this caramel appletini is actually quite smooth with a delicious sweet taste. 

I chose to keep this cocktail very simple and used flavored sugar to rim the glass. Feel free to dip the glass rim in caramel sauce or caramel syrup used for ice cream if you prefer.

This is a wonderful cocktail. Yes, it is strong…..it is straight alcohol after all, but it is actually quite smooth. I did not taste any “pie” type flavors in the Pearl Apple Pie Vodka, so that is why I named it Caramel Apple Martini and not Caramel Apple Pie Martini.

I chose the Pearl Vodka for this caramel apple martini recipe because it is available nationwide. I did not want to create an awesome drink, only to have everyone tell me that they cannot purchase that brand where they live…that is no fun!!!

Then I moved to Arizona and was unable to find the same Pearl Vodka, go figure, but I did find a delicious Stoli Salted Karamel Vodka that tastes great as well.

Choose any high-quality flavored vodka that is available in your area.
