Martini de Manzana y Caramelo con Burbujas

That caramelised toffee flavour really comes through without being cloying, and the vodka stays nice and smooth underneath. I poured it over a big ice cube and it tasted like a fancy dessert in a glass. Already my go-to for Friday nights.

The citrus lift at the end is what got me — it cuts through the toffee sweetness just enough to keep the drink from being cloying. Poured it over ice after dinner and the brown sugar syrup gave it a cozy, caramelized depth that felt festive without being heavy.

The vanilla and brown sugar syrup hits first, then the apple juice keeps it from being too cloying on the palate. It’s a touch sweeter than I’d normally pick for a martini, but the vodka base keeps it balanced enough for a dessert pour.
