An Apple martini ( Appletini for short) is a cocktail containing vodka and one or more apple juice, apple cider, apple liquor, or apple brandy.
This drink, originally called Adam's Apple Martini because the bartender who made it named Adam, was created in 1996 at Lola's West Hollywood restaurant.

Recipe
In its purest form, it will contain:
- 4 cl (1 1/3 oz) top vodka shelf (or gin)
- 2 cl (2/3 oz) apple juice, apple cider or, most often, wrinkle apples
Usually, the ingredients are shaken or stirred and then filtered into cocktail glasses.
Variations
Sweet and sour mixtures can also be added before shaking.
Optionally, vermouth can be included, as in a regular martini.
A common variation of appletini is "Rumpletini," with a light rum in place of vodka.
Similar cocktails can be made with white vermouth Martini Bianco and apple juice in long glasses filled with ice.
