I’m trying to remember the first time I tried a caramel apple martini. I think it was at my 25th birthday party.
I had a sip of a friend’s and then promptly ordered my caramel apple martini. And that’s partly why, to me, caramel apple martinis are a party drink.

Now, I wouldn’t judge you if I showed up at your house on a Tuesday night and you were reading a fantasy novel and drinking a caramel apple martini. No judgment from me.
But I think most often a caramel apple martini comes in handy as a fun party drink. Plus, they are super easy to make.
This caramel apple martini only has three ingredients and a 2:1:1 ratio of vodka (or gin), sour apple schnapps, and butterscotch schnapps.
You can add a drizzle of caramel sauce to the martini glass, or skip it. This dessert cocktail is plenty sweet without it, but I sort of love the look. Ha.
Pro tip: chill your martini glass before shaking up a cocktail by either storing it in the refrigerator or popping it in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
Make some festive drinks this season. Cheers! xo. Emma

This recipe looks delicious! Always looking for new drink ideas. Loving all of your fall/pumpkin inspired projects, it puts me in the mood for pumpkin carving, cinnamon spice lattes, and fall scented candles!
Yum! Do you have a pumpkin-flavored cocktail up your sleeve somewhere? I’m throwing a joint birthday party for me and friend, and she requested “pumpkin anything,” and I think it would be fun to have a special cocktail for the night. Ideas??
