The Caramel Apple Martini is a modern party cocktail that plays to fall dessert flavors: vodka, apple liqueur or juice, and caramel syrup or butterscotch liqueur. Shaken and served up, it is sweet, recognizable, and seasonal rather than spirit-forward.

Bartender's Note
Keep caramel restrained or the drink turns syrupy. Fresh apple cider can replace some liqueur for brightness.
