Ingredients

Have I connived you to give this Caramel Apple Pie Martini a try? Good! Let’s start by gathering up all the ingredients you’ll need for the recipe.

• Apple Pie Vodka: This flavored vodka brings the essence of warm, spiced apples and buttery pie crust right into your glass, making the perfect base for this dessert-inspired martini. If you can’t find it, an apple vodka will work just as nicely.

• Caramel Sauce: Used to rim the glass, this sauce not only adds a decorative touch but also brings an extra layer of sweet indulgence with every sip.
• Crushed Graham Crackers: Coating the rim with these crushed crackers mimics the buttery, crunchy texture of a pie crust, completing the dessert-like experience.
• Cinnamon (Optional): A light sprinkle of cinnamon on top enhances the cozy, spiced flavors and makes the drink feel even more like a fall treat.
