It combines vodka with apple liqueur, often presenting a vivid green hue and delivering a sweet-tart taste reminiscent of crisp, ripe apples. Typically served in a sophisticated cocktail glass, the Appletini is a favorite choice for those who enjoy a touch of sweetness in their beverages, and it's garnished with an apple slice to enhance its orchard-fresh appeal. Despite its playful appearance and taste, it remains a choice for more formal and stylish occasions.
