Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 oz apple schnapps for tart apple flavor
  • 1 oz vodka smooth base spirit
  • 1/2 oz sour apple syrup adds tartness if desired
  • few drops glow drops glowing edible drops, add before serving
  • sugar sugar for rimming the glass

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Strainer
  • Martini glasses
  • Small spoon or stirrer
  • Measuring jigger

Method
 

  1. Prepare your glasses by rimming the rims with a bit of caramelized sugar if you like a sweet, crunchy edge — carefully melt sugar and quickly dip the rim, then allow to set.
  2. Add apple schnapps, vodka, and sour apple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice, then secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is cold and well combined, about 15 seconds. You should hear a lively rattle and see the mixture turn a slightly frosty color.
  3. Strain the mixture into your prepared martini glasses, pouring smoothly to create a clean, crisp layer that showcases the vibrant green hue.
  4. Gently drop a few glow drops into each cocktail, just before serving. Watch as the liquid transforms into a luminous, eerie glow within the glass, creating a magical effect perfect for Halloween.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the shimmering, tart, and smooth Poison Apple Martini with friends or family for a spooky and stunning presentation.

Notes

Ensure to add glow drops just before serving for optimal glow. Adjust the amount of sour apple syrup for desired tartness. Be cautious with the caramel sugar rim to avoid burning.
