Reader William Froment created this recipe. He prefers rum to vodka for the infusions in this one. I’ve made the infusion both ways, too, and I can assure you they are both delicious in these infusions.

Gin?

You might be surprised that this recipe includes gin with these two vodka infusions. A good dry gin will counter the sweetness of this drink and add some very nice herbal and floral notes that.

If you don’t like gin, I recommend replacing it with rum or vodka.

The Infusions

While the vodka won’t add any flavor – just a kick – rum will definitely add some of its own flavor. I always use something simple like Bacardi white rum, unless you have a preferred go-to rum that you love the flavor of.

You could actually use a dark rum in this infusion. So make sure you use a rum that you really like the flavor of, and that way it will only add notes you like.

The Cinnamon Appletini Variation

Another variation that William suggested for this one is to use Cinnamon Jolly Rancher vodka or rum, made from my Jolly Rancher vodka recipe.

Then you get a Cinnamon Appletini, which is divine. And for a Cinnamon Caramel Appletini, put some cinnamon Jolly Rancher candies into your salted caramel vodka or rum infusion.

There’s a slightly creamy feel to this drink, because of the Salted Caramel infusion. It picks up some of the sugars in the infusion process and that adds a little bit of weight and texture to it. It’s not thick at all. It just has a very nice mouthfeel.

This is a divine dessert drink. But if you want to pair it with food, try an apple coffee cake or baked coconut chicken strips.
