Is Apple Juice And Vodka Worth Trying?
Apple juice and vodka have a light, sweet and sour flavor that can quickly quench your thirst. However, many people may be concerned about whether this beverage is suitable for their diet. Go ahead and you’ll find the answer!
Fewer Calories
The good news for dieters is that Vodka is one of the lowest-calorie, zero-carb alcoholic beverages (1). Therefore, it can be an ideal option for people following a low-carb diet.
As you know, vodka alone brings the taste of burning alcohol. Therefore, it is ideal for mixing vodka with sweet juices to make it taste better. Vodka can be mixed with apple juice or other juices, and the sugar content of these juices can contribute to their higher calorie content.
Calorie Comparison Chart: Apple Juice And Vodka With Other Combinations
See the chart below to compare apple juice and vodka with other vodka mixed drinks!
Serving size:

| Vodka And Apple Juice | 125 kcal |
| Vodka And Orange Juice | 126 kcal |
| Vodka And Pineapple Juice | 379 kcal |
| Vodka And Cranberry Juice | 130 kcal |
| Vodka And Lemonade | 386 kcal |
As you can see, vodka and apple juice have fewer calories than other combinations. So if you need to watch your calorie intake but still want to enjoy a refreshing taste, mixing apple juice and vodka can be a great option!
Less sugar
In this recipe, I do not add sugar, as apple juice has a sweet taste. But if you want a sweeter taste, you can add about 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Nutritive value
Vodka consists only of ethanol and water, so vodka does not add any nutritional value. When combining it with apple juice, you have a good chance of enjoying the drink with small amounts of Vitamin C, Calcium and Iron (2).
Refreshing Taste
Another reason why many people love this drink is that it has an unusual taste. The combination of sweet, sour and rich apple flavor is wonderful. Don’t forget to garnish with some fresh herbs or ground cinnamon for an extra twist! You will love this drink!

1. Appletini/ Apple Martini
Main Ingredients: Apple Juice, Vodka and Lemon Juice
An Apple martini (or Appletini) is a drink made with vodka and apple juice. You can also replace cider with apple liqueur, cider or apple brandy. Originally known as the Adam’s Apple Martini, this cocktail (named after the bartender who invented it).
This Appletini recipe calls for a cocktail shaker. Start by adding apple juice and lemon juice to the cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously. After that add vodka, green apple schnapps, ice and shake well another time.
A hint of refreshing and sour masks the alcoholic taste of the vodka. It’s best to serve in a martini glass and garnish with some apple slices, a cherry or a lemon twist.
2. Apple and Thyme Martini
Main Ingredients: Apple Juice, Vodka, And Thyme Syrup
This drink is much more difficult to carry than a regular apple martini because you have to make Thyme Syrup first. Here is the quick instruction for making the Apple and Thyme Martini as well as Thyme Syrup!
- Preparation of Thyme Syrup: Take thyme, water and sugar in a saucepan and cook on medium heat. Wait until the mixture boils, reduce to low heat and continue cooking for another 5 minutes to dissolve the sugar. Remove the saucepan and allow the Thyme Syrup to cool. Since we do not need the Thyme Syrup much, you can store the leftovers in an airtight bottle in the refrigerator.
- How to Make an Apple and Thyme Martini: Add apple juice, apple syrup, lemon juice, thyme syrup, vodka and ice cubes to cocktail shaker. Shake! Pour into martini glasses and garnish with apple slices and a sprig of thyme.
Follow the recipe and you can effortlessly make fresh, homemade drinks to serve your family!

Apple Rosemary Collins is the newer version of the Classic Vodka Collins. It is perfect for trying this recipe at holiday parties. Whether it’s summer or winter, this cooling cocktail should not be missed.
Making Rosemary Syrup is quite similar to making Thyme Syrup. Get an equivalent amount of sugar and water to a boil. Take the pan off the heat. Steep for 10 minutes with a rosemary sprig. Take out the rosemary and wait for the pan to cool.
This beverage is so easy to make! Just shake all the ingredients in the cocktail shaker for 10 seconds. Then strain the mixture. I love to enjoy this beverage in a highball glass with crushed ice and green apple slices on top. Additionally, you can garnish this drink with fresh blackberry, raspberry, or even lemon slices. And don’t forget to add a sprig of rosemary on top!
4. Double Apple Mojito
Main Ingredients: Vodka, Apple Juice and Fresh Mint
I know you want something refreshing for this summer vacation. So, ta-da! Let me introduce you to the new mojito recipe: Double Apple Mojito. This drink tastes like a fizzy mint lemon cocktail with a hint of sweetness. Delicious and strangely refreshing!
This recipe calls for simple syrup, and you can make it quickly in case you haven’t yet. Add sugar and water in equal proportions to a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Then let it cool!
The Double Apple Mojito is best served in a tall glass. The fender is useful for crushing mint leaves. Then add the ice cubes, the simple syrup you prepared, the apple juice and the vodka. Finally, slice some green or red apples to garnish and enjoy!
5. Spring Garden
Main Ingredients: Vodka, Apple Juice, Lemon Juice
This scrumptious drink seems to be another summer favorite that has long glorified cocktail aficionados. Using vodka, plain syrup, fresh lemon juice and squeezed apple juice, you can enjoy the perfect balance of fizzy sweet and tangy flavors.
Shake all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and strain into an ice-filled Collins glass. A pinch of mint or raspberry is a great way to garnish this drink. Cheers!

A traditional Moscow Mule consists of vodka, ginger beer, and lemon juice. It is usually served in a copper mug to keep it cool. These days, numerous Moscow mule varieties have popped up, and the Apple Blossom Moscow Mule is a must-try.
Combining sweet apple juice, flavored vodka, citrus lime juice, and spicy, hot ginger beer, this delicious cocktail is truly worth a try. When poured over ice and served in beautiful mugs with lemon wedges, apple wedges and mint, it’s a total bonus!

Main Ingredients: Apple Vodka, Apple Juice, Food-Grade Dried Lavender
With just 3 ingredients, you can quickly make a flowery cocktail suitable for all seasons. Lavender has a unique flavor that sets it apart from other mint herbs. Combined with apple juice and vodka, lavender perfectly complements the aroma of fresh apples.
Adding floral notes to any cocktail is not difficult at all. Add apples and dried lavender to a jar with this drink. Refrigerate overnight to brew later. Pour in the cider, vodka and ice cubes and shake in a cocktail shaker for about 20 seconds. Strain into an ice-filled glass and enjoy.
Lavender will be at its freshest in June, so don’t overdo it for the best flavor. I usually garnish this drink with a sprig of lavender and apple slices.

Main Ingredients: Bison Grass Vodka, Unfiltered Apple Juice, Cinnamon
Szarlotka cocktail, named after Polish apple pie, is a vodka drink made with Polish apples and bison grass. While you can make things easy using just apple juice and bison vodka, adding cinnamon will undoubtedly make this cocktail fragrant and delicious.
In Poland, bison grass vodka is known as ubrówka, what sets it apart is the bison grass leaf in the bottle and its light yellow color. To get the best taste of this drink, I recommend using the Polish version.
1 part ubrówka and 2 parts apple juice give you a great Szarlotka cocktail. Serve your drink cold and don’t forget to add a pinch of cinnamon. You can also use a cinnamon stick for a more elegant look.

This Patriotic Passion American cocktail is a delight to drink blue. Curacao, like Triple Sec, is a citrus-based liqueur. Apple juice and lemon juices add even more fruity flavor to this delightful classic vodka cocktail.

Aperol is an aperitif alcohol from Italy. Snacks are dried alcoholic beverages often combined to form pre-dinner cocktails. Aperol has a rich orange flavor that is both sour and bitter, with an orange scent and a touch of rhubarb.
My best trick for making this cocktail is to combine the Aperol, vodka, and lemon juice in a glass filled with ice. Allow the flavors to mingle before adding the cloudy apple juice. The sweet, pleasant apple juice flavor really complements the tangy Aperol flavor, while the lemon notes bring a pleasant, healthy aftertaste.

Main Ingredients: Apple Vodka, Apple Juice, Cranberry Juice, Triple Sec, Spiced Rum
Iced tea is also a great idea if you’re tired of a cocktail or cocktail. Fall Long Island Iced Tea requires only simple ingredients, and that’s why it’s become a favorite every year.
