Dangerously Delicious Desserts

• Apple-flavored vodka works well as an ingredient in various kinds of desserts. Mix apple-flavored vodka into your apple pies and crumbles, or add some cinnamon and brown sugar to the vodka for a sweet and savory dessert sauce. A cool dessert idea is a lightly flavored sorbet, such as lemon or lime, drizzled with apple-flavored vodka. Good chilly and creamy dessert options are to mix apple-flavored vodka into your milkshake, sprinkle it on top of your ice cream or infuse it into your whipped cream.

Punchy Punches

• Many vodka-based punches will benefit from adding apple-flavored vodka into the mix. One simple fruity and savory punch is the ginger, apple and vanilla punch, which includes vanilla vodka, lime juice, apple juice, apples, fresh ginger and ginger beer as well as apple-flavored vodka. Another punch that is well suited for the fall is the orange cider punch, which is apple-flavored vodka, apple cider, orange juice, cinnamon and nutmeg. A good trick is to substitute apple-flavored vodka for regular vodka in any punch with apples in it for a sweeter and fruitier punch.

Snappy Shots

• Mix apple-flavored vodka with other complementary sugary and fruity ingredients for a wide variety of tasty shooters. One simple shot is the sour lollypop shot, which is equal parts apple-flavored vodka and sweet and sour mix chilled and served in a shot glass. Another shot with a little bit of nuttiness to it is the foxy shot, which is a single shot of apple-flavored vodka chilled with a few splashes of amaretto, an Italian almond liqueur. One more apple-flavored vodka shot with a kick to it is the apple bomb, which is one part apple-flavored vodka and eight parts citrus-flavored energy drink.

Comely Cocktails

• Apple-flavored vodka mixes well in a number of cocktails from the obvious to the not-so-obvious. One of the most famous apple-flavored vodka drinks is the apple-tini, a fruity twist on the classic martini -- chill two parts each apple-flavored vodka and apple juice and one part sour mix, then strain into chilled martini glass and garnish with an apple slice. For a quick cocktail, pour a shot of apple-flavored vodka on ice, then top with a carbonated soda like tonic water, club soda, ginger ale, lemon-lime soda or cream soda. Apple-flavored vodka can also sub for regular vodka in other fruity cocktails, such as cosmopolitans or kamikaze martinis.
