The Sour Apple Martini (appletini) is the late-90s vodka novelty that still works as Halloween party fare. Sour apple liqueur and vodka, with a little citrus for lift, shake into a bright green coupe drink. It is sweet and playful by design, and remains one of the most recognizable costume-party cocktails.

Bartender's Note
A half-ounce of fresh lemon or lime keeps the drink from tasting like pure candy. Chill the glass well.
