This fun gin twist on the Appletini could be our new favourite autumn cocktail!

A mouthwatering mix of Forged Winter Gin, Craft Gin Club’s November 2023 Gin of the Month, Pip Organic Sparkling Apple Juice, and Craft Gin Club’s bespoke Caramel Appletini Cocktail Syrup, this apple-flavoured martini has got everything needed to keep you cosy on chilly evenings.

Give it a go…

What's an Apple Martini made of?

The traditional Apple Martini or Appletini, is made with vodka, sour apple liqueur and lemon juice. The cocktail is then classically garnished with apple slices.

Craft Gin Club’s Caramel Appletini is made from Pip Organic’s 100% organic Sparkling Apple Juice, so it has a naturally cloudy, golden appearance, exactly how it should be!

Why is Appletini green?

Appletini cocktails are often green because they are made with a green-coloured sour apple liqueur.

Craft Gin Club’s Caramel Appletini has a warm, yellow-orange glow from the authentic apple juice in Pip Organic Sparkling Apple Juice.

What alcohol is in an Appletini?

Appletinis are usually made with two different types of alcohol: vodka and sour apple liqueur.

For Craft Gin Club’s Caramel Appletini, we have simplified things. The only alcohol in our version of this cocktail is Forged Winter Gin!

Its rich mix of juniper, spice and citrus tones is the perfect match for the authentic fresh apple flavours of the Pip Organic Apple Juice & Sparkling Water and the sweet and aromatic Caramel Appletini Cocktail Syrup.

Try it out for yourself…

Craft Gin Club’s Caramel Appletini

50ml Forged Winter Gin
25ml Caramel Appletini Cocktail Syrup
100ml Pip Organic Sparkling Apple Juice
Apple fan and brown sugar and cinnamon rim, to garnish

Begin by rimming your glass - we recommend a chilled martini glass, but a coupe glass will work too - by running a lime wedge around the glass rim and placing firmly into a shallow saucer of brown sugar and cinnamon, rotating once or twice to ensure a full coat.

For the cocktail, add your gin and cocktail syrup into a cocktail shaker along with some cubed ice and shake. Fine strain into your Martini glass and top up with Pip Organic’s Sparkling Apple Juice. Garnish and serve.
