Candy apple 'martinis' are nothing new, in fact they're everywhere. Every once in awhile, however, you come across one that is unique and gives you a great idea for use in other drinks. Just such a cocktail, called the Toffee Apple, came to my attention this week from Belvedere Vodka and I think you'll really like this take on the concept.

The drink is quite simple: citrus vodka, apple and lemon juices, and toffee syrup. It is that last ingredient that caught my attention. Most of the cocktails that follow this flavor profile will use butterscotch schnapps, which is an excellent tool for the purpose, but I don't think it can hold up against a syrup made with toffee. There's something more natural about it and when this rather easy sweetener is added to fresh apple juice and a smooth vodka the combination seems like a winner and a great candidate for Halloween or any autumnal celebration.
