Ingredients
1 cup vodka
½ cup apple juice (clear apple juice works best)
½ cup sugar
Optional: red food coloring, cinnamon sticks, or apple slices for garnish
Instructions
- Make the syrup:
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and apple juice. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. Do not boil. - Cool it down:
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely. - Add the vodka:
Once cool, stir in the vodka. (Add a drop or two of red food coloring if you want that classic candy-apple look.) - Freeze:
Pour into ice cube trays or silicone molds. Freeze for at least 4–6 hours, until solid. - Serve:
Drop 1–2 ice bombs into a glass of sparkling water, lemon-lime soda, or even apple cider for a fun fizz.
