Crush some graham crackers and spread them on a shallow plate. Moisten the rim of your martini glass with water, then turn upside down and press it into the graham cracker crumbs to make a rim.
Combine 2 oz vanilla vodka, 1 oz caramel vodka, 1 oz apple cider, 1 oz butterscotch schnapps, and 1 oz of kissed caramel vodka in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

Shake and strain

Shake well for about fifteen seconds until the shaker becomes ice-cold.
Next, strain the mixture into your prepared martini glass.

Garnish

Garnish with apple slices or other creative toppings.

Optional Modifications

For an extra kick, add 0.5 oz of tequila or Irish cream such as Baileys apple cider to your martini glass.
For a touch of sourness, add a splash of lemon juice.
For a Paleo version, swap out flavored vodka with healthier options like apple juice, apple pucker, or vanilla vodka.

Substitutions and Variations

You can always add your own twist to this recipe and experiment with different ingredients to satisfy your taste buds. Here are some suggestions for substitutions and variations:

– For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the vodka and butterscotch schnapps with apple juice or apple cider.

– If you prefer a sweeter martini, use caramel-flavored vodka.

– Add a dash of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the cocktail shaker when mixing the cocktail for an extra kick.

– For a salty-sweet rim, swap the graham cracker rim for crushed pretzels or add a pinch of salt to the caramel sauce before decorating the glass.

– Instead of using caramel sauce, make your own caramel apple syrup by simmering apple cider, cinnamon sticks and sugar over low heat until it thickens. Let it cool before mixing it into your cocktail.

– Looking for a warmer drink? Heat up the apple cider before adding it to the shaker for a cozy twist on the pie martini.

– Add a shot of Baileys Irish Cream or vanilla vodka for a creamy and indulgent pie martini.

– Feeling adventurous? Replace the vodka with tequila and make it a Caramel Apple Pie Margarita.

– Swap out the apple schnapps for sour apple pucker for a sour twist on this sweet cocktail.

There are endless possibilities with this recipe so don’t hesitate to innovate and find what suits your taste buds best!

Serving and Pairing

The caramel apple pie martini is the perfect drink to serve at a fall or winter gathering. It’s a unique and fun twist on a classic dessert that will undoubtedly impress your guests.

When it comes to serving this delicious cocktail, I recommend pouring it into chilled martini glasses that have been rimmed with crushed graham cracker. This not only looks great but also adds a sweet and crunchy element to the drink.

As for pairing, this cocktail goes exceptionally well with dessert. Serve it alongside a slice of warm apple pie, a rich cheesecake or even a salty caramel chocolate cake – the possibilities are endless. However, if you’re looking for something lighter, you could pair it with some fresh apple slices or paleo cheesecake bites for balance.

If you’re planning on serving the cocktail to a larger group of guests, consider making a pitcher ahead of time, so you’re not continuously mixing drinks throughout the night. Lastly, don’t forget to garnish each glass with an apple slice or two—the perfect finishing touch to this surprisingly delicious drink.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

If you want to make this delicious cocktail recipe ahead of time, then you’re in luck. The good news is that the Caramel Apple Pie Martini is a perfect candidate for prepping beforehand. You can mix all the ingredients for the cocktail ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

If you’re making a large batch for a party or holiday gathering, you can even prepare it in advance in a pitcher and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. However, it’s essential to stir or shake it vigorously before serving.

When it comes to storing the prepared cocktail mix or leftover drinks, it’s important to transfer them into an airtight container and refrigerate them immediately. They will last in the fridge for up to three days.

Reheating this cocktail recipe is not recommended as the ingredients may lose their flavors and aroma upon reheating. It’s best to enjoy it fresh when made from scratch.

If you have any leftovers or unfinished drinks, you can save them for later by pouring them into ice cube trays and freezing them. They will come in handy for your next cocktail hour, and you won’t need to worry about wasting any leftovers.

In summary, with simple make-ahead tips, proper storage techniques, and freezing tricks, your Caramel Apple Pie Martini can be enjoyed at any time during the week without losing its rich flavors and character.

Tips for Perfect Results

First things first, make sure to use the right ingredients. The quality of the ingredients you use will affect the overall taste of your cocktail. Be sure to get high-quality vodka and apple cider for optimal flavor.

For an extra touch of flavor, infuse your vodka with vanilla beans or use a flavored vodka such as caramel vodka or apple vodka.

When making the crust for the rim of your martini glass, be sure to crush the graham crackers finely. This will ensure that they stick to the glass and create a uniform layer around the rim.

Make sure to shake vigorously! Shake the cocktail shaker with ice until it’s super cold and well mixed. When ready to serve, strain into your chilled martini glass and garnish with apple slices.

If you like your cocktails on the sweeter side, feel free to add some extra caramel syrup to your drink.

Lastly, do not underestimate the power of presentation. Add flair by using unique glasses, garnishes, or even creating a mini apple pie crust for topping.

Follow these tips for perfect results and you’ll have yourself a delicious caramel apple pie martini that will have everyone feeling warm and cozy inside.

Caramel Apple Pie Martini Recipe

Playing with drink recipes again! A nice Fall Drink! Forget the fall, this is an anytime drink! Today is May 21,04 I just made this again and posted the picture with these changes, without the soda, I dipped the apple garnish into my caramel sauce recipe #77540, dipped the rim into the caramel then dipped into frosted flakes and candied walnuts put through my coffee grinder. So Yummy and dangerous!!!! I asked 2 different bar tenders to make this drink for me. One at Applebees and the other at Catch 22 both in NJ. The Applebees bartender at first said he didn't have the ingredients but then he I told him he had apple schnapps, vanilla vodka and buttershots schnapps he went and made better then I did. He swirled caramel on the inside of the glass his own doing (Can you believe I didn't have to tell him to do that) and dipped the rim into cinnamon and sugar my telling him. He had no problem making this drink for me and invited my husband and I back on the nights he works. The bartender at Catch 22 didn't like making something new at first but he came accustom very fast when everyone was trying my drink and going up and asking him for one.($8.00 a drink he was charging). He made out on me! But it was worth it! So if you want skip the splash of soda! It really doesn't need it!
