FORBIDDEN APPLE co*ckTAIL
This Forbidden Apple co*cktail for two is sinfully delicious, and so easy to drink. It’s a delightful autumn co*cktail that combines the smoothness of vodka, the sweet crispness of apple juice, a hint of lemon juice, the warmth of cinnamon, and a touch of pure maple syrup.

Instructions
OPTIONAL CINNAMON SUGAR RIM:
- To a small glass bowl, add turbinado sugar and cinnamon, and mix thoroughly to combine. Pour onto a small plate, and shake the plate to distribute. Pour maple syrup onto another plate (or lemon juice). Dip the rims of two 15 ounce rocks glasses into maple syrup (or lemon juice), then immediately dip them into the cinnamon sugar. Tap each glass to remove excess sugar, and set glasses aside.
- Dip the tips of two apple slices into maple syrup (or lemon juice), then spoon cinnamon sugar onto the tips to coat. Skewer each slice onto co*cktail picks, and set aside.
co*ckTAIL:
- Fill a co*cktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Add lemon juice, apple juice, maple syrup, vodka, and ground cinnamon. Cover and shake vigorously.
- Fill prepared co*cktail glasses with fresh ice cubes (about halfway full). Then strain the co*cktail into glasses, garnish each glass with the sugared apple slice (optional), and enjoy!
Notes
- I prefer using Grey Goose vodka for this co*cktail because it has a clean finish. However, Kettle One vodka or your favorite vodka will also work fine.
- If you are not going to serve the co*cktail immediately, be sure to coat the apple slices in lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.
- Makes two servings.

Blog Comments & Tips
A delicious autumn co*cktail!
This Forbidden Apple co*cktail is a deliciously drinkable libation that goes down so easy! It’s one of the easiest co*cktails you’ll ever make as the only prep it requires is squeezing some fresh lemon juice, and measuring bottled ingredients. You can certainly get fancy and make the cinnamon sugar rim and the special apple garnish, but it’s really not necessary.
This co*cktail was such a hit with my godparents that she called me the next day to ask for the recipe! Even my godfather (who is not a fan of co*cktails) loved this drink. This is a great co*cktail to make for a crowd, as you can prepare the glasses in advance, and prepare the co*cktail and refrigerate until your guests arrive. Enjoy this fall co*cktail and make sure to save this fall recipe as your guests may even want a copy!
How do you ensure the best results from this recipe?
My 3 tips to making this Forbidden Apple co*cktail for Two:
Use good quality vodka. I prefer using Grey Goose vodka for this co*cktail because it has a clean finish. However, Kettle One vodka or your favorite vodka will also work fine.
The brand of apple juice is up to you. For this co*cktail, I prefer Tree Top pressed apple juice. Even their apple juice from concentrate works well in this recipe. If you want a stronger apple flavor, try an unfiltered apple juice. However, don’t use an apple cider, as it will be overly spiced with the cinnamon in the co*cktail.
If you have a couple of extra minutes, try to make the sugar rim. The taste of the cinnamon sugar rim combined with the co*cktail is delightful!

Footnote: Remember to drink responsibly. This co*cktail may seem innocent, but it has a fair amount of alcohol in it and will sneak up on you when you least expect it!
