October 24: Witchy Salted Caramel Apple-Tini


As I said in yesterday's post, on Sunday we had a little Walking Dead viewing party at my house.

My husband made these drinks and we all loved them. So much so that I wrote down the recipe so I could share it here on my blog.

And guess what?

Remember I said in my previous beverage post that adding Buttershots to that salted caramel apple juice would taste yummy? Well, I was right. The flavor combination was SPOT ON. (My husband added a few things more than *just* Buttershots, but I still stand by my assertion.)

I've named these "witchy" because he used a green sugar rim and garnished them with a green apple flavored lollipop in the shape of--you guessed it!--a witch's finger. I found the lollipops at my local Dollar Tree, sold in packs of 5. They also had them in a grape-flavored dark purple hue, FYI.

If you aren't feeling the Halloween vibe on these, they could easily become just plain old Salted Caramel Apple-Tinis with a regular fall flair. Just swap out the green sugar rim with, say, a cinnamon sugar rim, and skip the finger lollipop in favor of a thin slice of apple. Done and done!
