Dekuyper Sour Apple Pucker

DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker is the reason the Appletini exists. Love it or hate it, this bright green, tart apple liqueur defined early-2000s cocktail culture. Mix it with vodka and a splash of lemon for a quick sour apple martini that’s sweet, tart, and unapologetically fun. It works in layered shots and blends into frozen drinks easily. At only 15% ABV, it’s pretty low-proof, so it won’t overpower other ingredients. Some bartenders have moved on to fresh apple juice and malic acid, but sometimes you just want that neon green nostalgia in a glass.
