Ingredients
  

For the Martini
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce Use a high-quality sauce like Ghirardelli for an indulgent touch.
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt Coarse salt works best for contrast against the sweetness.
  • 4 ounces apple cider Fresh, unfiltered apple cider is crucial for an authentic taste.
  • 2 ounces caramel vodka Brands like Smirnoff or Van Gogh offer great options.
  • Ice Use fresh ice to keep your drink cold and refreshing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Glass: Set out two small plates. Pour the caramel sauce onto one plate, and on the second plate, add the kosher salt.
  2. Rim the Glass: Carefully roll the edge of your martini glass into the caramel sauce, ensuring the rim is coated thoroughly, then dip into the salt.
  3. Mixing the Drink: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add apple cider and caramel vodka, and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds.
  4. Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
  5. Enjoy: Serve immediately and watch as everyone’s faces light up with joy.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, mix a pinch of cinnamon into the salt for rimming. If your martini is too sweet, balance it out with a splash of fresh lemon juice. Leftover caramel sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
