Frequently Asked Questions

What type of apples can be used for this recipe?

Use a sweet apple such as Gala, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.

Serving Suggestions

The apple pie vodka can be served in so many ways. Straight up or on the rocks is always fantastic.

Make our slow cooker apple cider and add a bit to that for a tasty adult beverage.

Change up a hot toddy and add in some of the infused vodka for a warm cocktail on a cool day.

My favorite desserts to serve along with this flavored liquor would be pumpkin spice cupcakes, snickerdoodles, and homemade chocolate bark.
