What is the Best Vodka for an Apple Cider Martini?

Vodka Martinis, like a classic martini, are strong drink recipes. In this Apple Cider Vodka Martini, there is an equal amount of vodka and cider. Using good quality vodka is crucial to creating a smooth fall cocktail.

Make sure to choose Grey Goose Vodka or one of similar quality. Grey Goose is a smooth vodka, easy to drink and doesn’t have the harsh bite of lesser quality vodkas.

Can I Use Apple Juice Instead of Apple Cider?

Yes, apple juice is an easy substitute for apple cider!

Apple juice is basically apple cider that is more filtered, not leaving any apple pulp and is pasteurized so it will last longer. Both apple cider and apple juice are readily available this time of the year at local grocery stores, so choose the one you prefer.

Should I Use Regular Apple Cider or Spiced Apple Cider?

The choice is yours, but I prefer the spiced apple cider. Spiced apple cider includes extra flavors such as cinnamon and nutmeg.

If you choose regular apple cider this martini will taste of light crisp apples. If you choose the spiced apple cider, it becomes more of a cozy apple pie martini and I’m a fan of the apple pie martini flavors!

I use pre-made spiced apple cider, but if you want to make your own, here’s a recipe for homemade apple cider.

Apple Cider Martini Recipe Ingredients

• Grey Goose Vodka
• Spiced Apple Cider
• Cinnamon Stick (garnish)
• Fresh Apple Slice (garnish)

Variations:

• Add a caramel flavor to your apple cider martini. Substitute the Grey Goose Vodka with a Caramel Vodka and turn it into a caramel apple martini.
• Add a sugar rim to your martini glass. Dip the rim of the glass in simple syrup or caramel sauce first. Then dip in brown sugar or cinnamon sugar.
• If it’s too stout for your liking, add a splash of sweeteners such as simple syrup or triple sec.
• If you don’t have a cinnamon stick, sprinkle ground cinnamon on top.

How to Make an Apple Cider Martini

Here are the easy step-by-step instructions to make an apple cider vodka martini:

Step 1: Grab your cocktail shaker and add a half cup of ice.

Step 2: Add 3 oz of Grey Goose Vodka and 3 oz of Spiced Apple Cider.

Step 3: Stir the ingredients until chilled. You can shake it as well, but it’ll take a minute or two for the froth to dissipate.

Tip: You can chill your ingredients first and simply mix the apple cider and vodka in the martini glass. Stir ingredients with the cinnamon stick.

Step 4: Strain into a martini glass.

Step 5: Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a fresh slice of apple.

Tip: If you don’t have a cinnamon stick, lightly sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon.

This Apple Cider Martini recipe is full of fall flavors and made with smooth vodka. It’s a wonderful time to enjoy fall cocktails, especially apple cider cocktails, with family and friends.

Cheers!
