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.
