Apple Crisp Vodka combines fresh apple character with a hint of cinnamon, so it works incredibly well with ginger beer, sparkling water, apple cider, coffee, and warm baking spices. These five Apple Crisp Vodka cocktails range from a simple highball to a rich espresso martini, with options for every season.
Learn how Apple Crisp Vodka is made with Washington apples before mixing your first drink.
Apple Crisp Moscow Mule
Ginger beer highlights the vodka’s apple character, while fresh lime keeps the drink crisp and balanced. This is an easy Moscow mule that is delicious year-round.
- 2 oz Apple Crisp Vodka
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 3 to 4 oz ginger beer to top
Fill a copper mug (or any glass, no mule police here) with ice. Add the vodka and lime, top with ginger beer, and stir once. Garnish with a lime wheel or a thin apple slice.
Apple Vodka Soda: The Orchard Soda
Light, refreshing, and easy to make to enjoy all afternoon.
- 2 oz Apple Crisp Vodka
- 4 oz sparkling water
- ¼ oz fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- Apple slice for garnish
Build over ice in a tall glass, squeeze in the lemon, and drop in an apple slice. That is the whole recipe, which is the point.
Hot Apple Cider Toddy
Warm apple cider amplifies the vodka’s fruit character, while cinnamon adds a familiar cold-weather finish.
- 1 1/2 oz Apple Crisp Vodka
- 4 oz hot apple cider
- 1 Bar spoon of honey
- Cinnamon stick and a lemon wheel
Warm the cider, pour it over the vodka in a mug, and drop in the cinnamon stick and lemon. The cinnamon in the vodka and the cinnamon in the mug reinforce each other.
Apple Crisp Espresso Martini
Unexpected, and it works. Apple and coffee are closer cousins than they look.
- 1½ oz Apple Crisp Vodka
- 1 oz fresh espresso
- ½ oz coffee liqueur
- ¼ oz simple syrup
Shake everything hard with ice until the tin frosts, then strain into a chilled coupe. Shaking the drink hard creates a creamy foam and brings the apple and coffee aromas together.
Apple Crisp Old Fashioned
A fresh twist on a classic cocktail.
- 2 oz Apple Crisp Vodka
- 0.25 oz maple syrup or simple syrup
- 2 dashes aromatic bitters
- Orange peel
Stir with ice and strain over one large cube. Express the orange peel over the drink.
Prefer it Simple?
Apple Crisp Vodka can also be served neat or over one large cube. Pour 2 ounces, let it rest for a minute, and notice the fresh apple character followed by cinnamon spice.
