Appletini
vodka, sour apple liqueur and triple sec
Created at Lola’s Restaurant, West Hollywood, c. 1996-1997, by Adam Karston, following the introduction of DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker. The Appletini was a late-1990s popular phenomenon that galvanized (in opposition) the Cocktail Renaissance, and, along with the Cosmopolitan, fed a period of burgeoning drink menus in mainstream bars and restaurants where every drink was served in a Martini glass and suffixed by -tini.
