    What is a Vodka and Apple Juice?

    A vodka and apple juice is a delicious and sweet apple flavored cocktail. It is good for fall holidays as well as a refreshing sipper in the summer.

    You only need two ingredients to make this cocktail. They are of course vodka and Apple juice. It is one of the many easy two ingredient vodka drinks you can make.

    Vodka is widely known for being almost tasteless. It does tend to have a strong bite of alcohol as the aftertaste. The higher quality the Vodka you get that bite tends to be a little smoother.

    When you mix Vodka with anything the drink tends to have mostly the flavor of the other ingredients in the drink.

    Apple juice of course tastes like a sweet juice made of apples. It’s simply made from squeezing the liquid or juice out of apples and then removing any remaining pulp.

    So, when you put vodka which does not have a strong taste and with apple juice you end up with a cocktail that has a sweet Apple flavor with just a little alcohol spike on the back end.

    Apple juice also mixes well with other liquors. So if you’re looking for other apple juice cocktails you might try a tequila and apple juice or a whiskey and Apple juice.

    How to make this drink:

    It doesn’t take much to make this cocktail. You need only a few supplies and a few ingredients. And you’ll have it whipped up in no time.

    Equipment:

    • highball glass or Rocks/Scotch/Bourbon glass
    • jigger
    • bar spoon
    • (optional) cocktail shaker
    • (optional) Hawthorne strainer

    Ingredients:

    • 2 oz Vodka
    • 4 oz Apple Juice
    • Cinnamon Stick and/or Apple Slice
    • Ice

    Instructions:

    Step one

    As you get started making your drink, you want to get together all of your ingredients as well as all of your equipment. This shouldn’t take long as there aren’t many of either.

    Step two

    You’ll want to fill your highball glass with ice before getting started also.

    Step three

    Next, you can prep your garnishes. For the cinnamon stick garnish you simply place those in the side of your glass.

    If you choose to add Apple slice. Simply take an apple, cut it into slices. Then take a cocktail pic stick it through the center of the Apple slice and lay it on top of your glass.

    Step four

    This cocktail can be mixed either in your highball glass or in a cocktail shaker. We are going to lay out the instructions for highball glass in the following steps.

    If you choose to use a cocktail shaker you can still do the measurements the same. But, you’ll simply dump your liquids into your cocktail shaker full of ice to start instead of your highball glass.

    And then shake your cocktail shaker well. And use a Hawthorne strainer to pour the liquid from your Shaker to your glass.

    Step Five

    To get your ingredients measured you will use a jigger. Take your jigger and measure 2 oz of vodka. Then, dump your vodka from your jigger over the ice in the highball glass.

    Next, take your jigger again and measure 4 oz of Apple juice. Then dump your apple juice from your jigger over the ice and vodka in your highball glass.

    Step Six

    Lastly, take your barstool spoon. Put it into your glass and very carefully stir the two ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed.

    Now, your cocktail is ready!
