    An apple cider martini in a coupe glass garnished with fresh apple slices sits on a marble coaster that is set on a wooden board.

    Mulled apple cider, apple vodka, orange liqueur, and cinnamon whiskey are shaken over ice and served chilled in this Apple Cider Martini recipe that is bursting with autumnal flavors! Rim the glass with cinnamon sugar and serve with a cinnamon stick for a cocktail recipe that is as beautiful as it is delicious.

    I love a seasonal bevvie! Whether it’s a pumpkin spice espresso martini or a batch of caramel apple jello shots, I’m going to enjoy the flavors of the season! And this drink is full of Fall goodness!

    Warm cinnamon, zesty orange, and crisp apple all mingle in this easy fall cocktail that’s too good to pass up!

    Ingredients you’ll need

    Making an apple cider martini

    This is just a brief overview, find detailed instructions in the recipe card below!

    Add all the liquids to a cocktail shaker.
    Fill shaker with ice and shake until frosted over.
    Pour into prepared serving glass.
    Garnish and enjoy!

    Want to try a poppable and portable version of this drink? Check out my recipe for apple cider jello shots!

    Vodka Substitution

    Feel free to use plain vodka if you can’t find apple. Vanilla vodka would add another layer of warmth to the drink, too! Like when I make my s’mores espresso martini!
