If you love green martinis that are both sweet and sour, this one may be right up your alley. It’s brightly colored, bold in flavor, and super easy to make at home.

All you have to do is pour the ingredients into a shaker over ice, and strain into a chilled glass. You don’t need to add a garnish, but a thin apple slice or a couple of cherries make it look really pretty.

This appletini is one of those vodka cocktails I make when I want something quick but still fun to sip, especially around Halloween. That bright green color always gets attention.

How to Make a Sour Appletini

Sour apple pucker being poured into a jar.

Pour the vodka, apple juice, and sour apple schnapps into your shaker filled with ice.

Add the triple sec, then shake for about 10 to 15 seconds, until the shaker feels ice-cold in your hand. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an apple slice or cherry.

How to Make a Pitcher of Sour Apple Martinis

Want to serve these to a crowd? No problem. Just multiply the recipe by 6 or 8 and mix it in a large pitcher. Here’s a basic batch for 8 drinks:

1 cup vodka
1 cup apple juice
1 cup sour apple pucker
½ cup triple sec

Stir everything together and chill it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Give it a quick stir before pouring.

Serve it with more Halloween favorites like cookie bars, popcorn balls, caramel corn, or Halloween truffles.

Quick Tip

The ingredients in this cocktail are adjustable. Add more vodka, schnapps, or even apple juice if you’d like. On the other hand, you can reduce any of the ingredients, too.
