If you love apples, you will love the Sparkling Apple Martini.
This cocktail is so refreshing, it’s a little like biting into a light, crisp apple.
You even garnish it with beautiful, thin slices of apples!
A Prosecco Martini Recipe
Sparkling Apple Martinis are wonderful throughout the year.
They are truly perfect in the Autumn when apples are harvested.
But they are also so beautiful, tasty, and festive-looking, they are perfect for holiday parties of all sorts.
Especially from Christmas gatherings to New Years Celebrations.
In fact, if your beloved is into apples, these Sparkling Apple Martinis are romantic enough for Valentine’s Day, too!
Healthier fruity cocktails
I’m a big fan of fruity cocktails in all varieties.
Even if it’s just an illusion, drinking a fruity cocktail just feels like it should be healthy.
Or at least healthier than drinks that don’t include fruit.
And if your cocktail is healthier, like this one that has only 206 calories, that means that you don’t have to feel so guilty about indulging in all those other holiday goodies, right?
At least – that’s my story, and I’m stickin’ to it!
Sparkling Apple Martini with Prosecco
This cocktail is perfect to serve year round, especially during the fall when apples are in season.
But it’s so beautiful and festive that it’s a perfect drink to serve for holidays such as Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and Valentine’s Day.
It’s also perfect to enjoy for brunch alongside your favorite mimosa recipe.
Move over mimosas, the sparkling apple martini with prosecco is here to be your new favorite brunch cocktail!

Ingredients you need to make Sparkling Apple Martinis
- 1 oz. Van Gogh Wild Appel
- 1 oz. Van Gogh Vodka
- 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
- 1 oz. apple purée, such as Perfect Purée Green Apple
- Splash of prosecco, chilled
- Apple slices for garnish, sliced thin
You will also need a knife, citrus squeezer, cocktail shaker, cocktail or mesh strainer, and optionally, a mandolin.
Note: If you don’t have apple flavored vodka, you may double the amount of regular vodka and add another half ounce of apple puree.
If you’re preparing items ahead of time for a party, be sure to dip your apple slices in lemon juice.
Doing so helps to keep them from browning.
We don’t really recommend slicing the apples ahead of time, but if you must, that will help.
How to make Sparkling Apple Martinis with Prosecco
To make the drink, first be sure to chill your prosecco in advance.
You may chill it either in the refrigerator or in a champagne bucket.
You may also wish to chill your vodka ahead of time too.
I like to do this in the freezer.
Next, you’ll squeeze your fresh lemon juice for the drinks.
Be sure to strain the seeds from the juice before mixing it in the drink.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Pour the two vodkas, fresh lemon juice and apple puree.
Shake it thoroughly until all of the liquids are well-mixed and thoroughly chilled.
Using a cocktail or mesh strainer, pour the mixture through the strainer into a martini glass.
Top it up with a splash of chilled prosecco.
Garnish with fresh apple slices floating in the drink.
Note: To get your apple slices thin and uniform, use a mandolin.
You’ll get gorgeous, even slices for your garnish.
