Apple Cider Martini

Experience the autumnal charm with our Apple Cider Martini, a blend of apple cider, vodka, triple sec, and orange juice. It’s a harmonious fusion that evokes the essence of fall in every sip.

My favorite fall cocktail mixer is apple cider because of how easily it blends into traditional drinks to make new ones like the Caramel Apple Martini or the Apple Cider Margarita. It’s also a delicious addition to drinks such as an Apple Cider Hot Toddy or non-alcoholic drinks like Thanksgiving Punch.
