National Caramel Apple Martini

If you remember, earlier this month, I told you that October is National Apple Month AND National Caramel Month! There are many great ways to celebrate these two delicious foods on their own. The options are endless, and I hope that you celebrate all month long in as many ways as possible! On October 21st though, you need to celebrate these two delicious items together, No Excuses, because October 21 is National Caramel Apple Day! Even when it is NOT National Caramel Apple Day, you still to make time to sip and enjoy this delicious cocktail!!

Salted Caramel Apple Martini

Apples and Caramel are a match made in heaven. From a young age, Apples covered in Caramel and other goodies bring a smile to  people’s faces. Young and Old love their healthy apples to be smothered in delicious sweetness. The satisfying sweet and slightly tart combination just is perfect – and this is coming from a chocolate lover!
