The Appletini, short for Apple Martini, is a sweet and tangy cocktail made with vodka and apple schnapps, often featuring a splash of lemon juice for balance. Known for its bright green colour and crisp apple flavour, it became popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s as a fun, fruity twist on the classic martini.
