Sip into Fall with Our Signature Caramel Apple Cider Martini
At Shady Grove Lounge, one drink reigns supreme during our annual Cider Fest—the Caramel Apple Cider Martini. This sweet and tangy concoction perfectly captures the flavors of fall in a glass, and it’s become a festival favorite for a reason. Every year, guests ask us for the recipe so they can recreate the magic at home. So, this year, we’re spilling the secrets!
What makes this martini so irresistible? It’s the balance of rich caramel, smooth butterscotch, and crisp apple cider, with a splash of Apple Pucker to give it that tart kick. It’s like sipping a caramel apple at the peak of harvest season, with an elegant twist.
