Equipment

  • A cocktail shaker is essential for mixing everything smoothly.
  • I always make sure to have a jigger to measure the ingredients accurately.
  • A strainer helps in pouring the drink without ice.
  • I also like to use a martini glass for serving, as it gives the drink a classy touch.
  • To finish, a small plate for preparing the caramel rim is helpful.

Ingredients

Here’s what I need to whip up this delightful drink:

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz apple cider
  • 1 oz butterscotch schnapps
  • 1 tbsp caramel sauce for the glass rim
  • Apple slices for garnish optional
  • Ice cubes

Each ingredient adds a unique flavor to the drink, creating a perfect blend of sweet and tangy. I like to gather everything in advance, so I’m all set to start mixing! 🍏🍬

Instructions

Here's how I put the cocktail together:

  • Chill the Glass: First, I place the martini glass in the freezer to chill.
  • Rim the Glass: I spread caramel sauce on a small plate and dip the glass rim to coat it evenly.
  • Shake It Up: In the shaker, I combine vodka, apple cider, butterscotch schnapps, and ice. I shake it well until it's mixed and cold.
  • Strain and Serve: After shaking, I strain the mix into the chilled glass.
  • Garnish: I add an apple slice to the rim for a touch of flair, if desired.

Now, the cocktail is ready to enjoy with friends and family! πŸŽ‰

    Notes

    Here are a few tips to make this cocktail extra special:
    Use fresh apple cider for the best flavor.
    For a sweeter drink, I sometimes add a bit more butterscotch schnapps.
    If I don't have butterscotch schnapps, a little more caramel sauce mixes in well for a similar taste.
    I love customizing this drink to fit my taste, so I always encourage others to do the same. Feel free to experiment and share any fun variations in the comments! πŸ“‹βœ¨
