It’s Fall and while pumpkin-flavored everything has basically taken over every major food retailer, it’s still the season for apples! And heck, it’s Friday so it must be 5 o’clock somewhere, right?! My mom and I got together a couple weeks ago and worked on perfecting two apple martini recipes. (It was a difficult job but someone had to do it.) From our hard work, filled with trial and error, we came up with these two beauties. Both have the sweetness and the apple flavor that make Fall great. But the Caramel Apple Martini tastes like the best caramel apple you’ve ever had, well infused with alcohol. The Cinnamon Apple Martini was my favorite - because, really, who can resist Fireball?
Caramel Apple Martini
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Pinnacle Caramel Apple vodka
- 2 1/2 oz Fulton’s Harvest Apple Pie liqueur
- 1/2 oz of heavy cream
- Caramel sauce
- Cinnamon stick to garnish
- Cinnamon and Sugar combination to sprinkle over the top (I love the Trader Joe’s Cinnamon and Sugar grinder)
Directions:
- Heat the caramel sauce so it is a liquid-consistency and then drizzle along the inside of the glass. Allow it to solidify and harden before pouring the drink in. (The caramel will not entirely come off as you drink from the glass, making it easy to refill at the party while still looking great.)
- Pour the rest of the ingredients in a martini shaker along with several ice-cubes. Shake.
- Pour the liquid out into the glass. Try to avoid getting ice in the glass. No one wants a watered-down drink.
- Garnish with a cinnamon stick and then the cinnamon and sugar powder.
- Serve. Drink. ENJOY!
Cinnamon Apple Martini
Ingredients:
- 2oz Fireball whiskey
- 3 oz Fulton’s Harvest Apple Pie liqueur
- 1/2 heavy cream - optional (I liked it better without.)
- Cinnamon-flavored sprinkles
- Apple for garnish
Directions:
- Dip edge of martini glass into plate with a thin layer of water to wet the rim. Then dip the rim into a plate sprinkled with the cinnamon-flavored sprinkles.
- Mix ingredients into martini shaker with ice. Shake.
- Pour the liquid out into the glass. Try to avoid getting ice in the glass.
- Shake additional cinnamon sprinkles into the liquid. They mostly sink to the bottom creating a fun visual effect for the glass.
- Garnish with an apple wedge that’s been dipped in the sprinkles.
- Serve. Drink. ENJOY!

Oh goodness they both look delicious. I probably could not stop with only one.
I’m drooling just thinking about apples and caramel!

I’d SO love to partake in an apple martini right now but I’m very pregnant. Luckily I only have a few weeks left so I’ll be able to indulge! The Caramel Apple Martini is right up my alley!

A caramel and apple martini sounds great right now! I have never had one, but this recipe looks amazing!
My husband likes to try different flavors of martinis. I bet he’d like this…to date, chocolate is his favorite.
The way the caramel swirls in the caramel apple martini looks pretty cool! That would probably be the one I’d have to try! lol
