An Apple martini (Appletini for short) is a cocktail containing vodka and one or more of apple juice, apple cider, apple liqueur, or apple brandy.

This drink, properly called an Adam's Apple Martini, was created in 1996 at Lola's West Hollywood restaurant.[1][2]

Recipe

In its purest form, it would contain:

40 ml (1 ⅓ oz) top shelf vodka (or gin)
30 ml (⅔ oz) apple juice, cider, or most often-apple pucker

Typically, the ingredients are shaken or stirred and then strained into a cocktail glass.

Variations

A sweet and sour mix can also be added before shaking.

Optionally, vermouth may be included, as in a regular martini.

A common variation of the appletini is the "Rumpletini", with a light rum in place of the vodka.

A similar cocktail can be made with Martini Bianco white vermouth and apple juice in a long drink glass filled with ice.[3]
