I am not a big martini drinker, I find traditional martinis too strong and the fruity ones are just too sweet. But when you get a random recipe to celebrate National Vodka Day (it was a few weeks ago, I didn’t even realize I missed it) and it features a Caramel Apple Martini my taste buds were intrigued. Rightfully so.
This Caramel Apple Martini was seriously delicious. I only needed one, it was strong enough and sweet enough. Surprisingly, Scott actually liked these! He had one as well and commented how good it was.
It honestly felt like fall in a glass and it gave me an excuse to break out the cocktail shaker and actually use a martini glass. The glasses just happened to be an awesome wedding gift, bright colored Mikasa martini glasses. I love the looks of these!
