Sour Appletini Cocktail Recipe

Serves 1

Ingredients

· 2.5 oz (5 Tbsp) of vodka

· 1.75 oz (3.5 Tbsp) of sour apple pucker liqueur (sour apple schnapps works well too!)

· 0.25 oz (0.5 Tbsp) lemon juice

· 0.5 oz (1 Tbsp) of triple sec (or simple syrup)

For the rim:

· 1 lemon

· 1 cup white sugar + 2 drops green food coloring (or buy Apple Cocktail Sugar)

Want to make it a mocktail?

Replace the vodka with apple juice and the sour apple pucker with Granny Smith apple syrup. You probably won't need the triple sec or simple syrup due to the sweetness of the apple juice and syrup.

Directions

1 Rim your glass with the green sugar (see instructions below). 2 Fill your cocktail shaker with ice. 3 Add all ingredients to your shaker. 4 Shake it up. 5 Pour into your glass. 6 Enjoy!

How to rim the glass with sugar

1	Make or purchase your green sugar.
2	To make your sugar: put 1 cup of white sugar in a covered bowl, add 2 drops of green food coloring, put the lid on and shake. Add more color or sugar until you get the shade you want.
3	Pour the sugar onto a small plate.
4	Slice your lemon into a wedge and cut a small slit in the fruit side.
5	Run the lemon wedge around the edge of the glass.
6	Dip the top of the glass into the sugar.
7	That's it — you're a pro!
