Celebrate apple picking season with a delicious Appletini bursting with apple goodness.
Ingredients:
  • For the tart apple syrup
  • 3 tart apples such as Granny Smith, McIntosh, or Pink lady
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • For the cocktail
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • 1 ounce apple juice
  • 1/2 ounce Calvados apple brandy
  • 3/4 ounce tart apple syrup
  • 1 ounce lemon juice
  • For garnish
  • Apple slice
Instructions:
  • Prepare the apples by removing the cores and chopping them roughly after washing.
  • To make the tart apple syrup, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine apples, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then simmer until apples are tender but still hold their shape, for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Chill the tart apple syrup: Take it off the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature, should take around 30 minutes.
  • Strain the homemade tart apple syrup: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into an airtight container. Use in your cocktail right away or refrigerate until needed.
  • Prepare the cocktail by mixing vodka, Calvados apple brandy, 3/4 ounce tart apple syrup, and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker filled two-thirds with ice. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds until chilled, then strain into a cocktail coupe or small Martini glass. Finish by garnishing with an apple slice before serving.
