Instructions
- Begin by filling your cocktail shaker with ice. The ice will ensure your cocktail is chilled to perfection.
- Pour in the vodka, apple liqueur, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Secure the lid on your shaker and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. This not only mixes the ingredients but also ensures they're well chilled.
- Strain the chilled mixture into a martini glass, capturing the ice in the shaker. The result should be a clear, crisp cocktail.
- Garnish your Appletini Martini with a fresh apple slice on the rim of the glass.
- Serve immediately and relish in the fruity, tangy, and slightly sweet symphony of flavors.
Tips
- For a twist, try adding a splash of apple juice for a fuller apple flavor.

- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less apple liqueur.
