Koloa Rum Caramel Apple Martini 

Ingredients:

1 oz. Kōloa Kauaʻi Spice Rum  
½ oz. triple sec
¼ oz. caramel syrup (homemade is best)
2 oz. still organic apple cider  
Garnish: Caramel topping, whipped cream 
Glass: Pitted large green apples

Directions: 

Shake ingredients in a shaker with ice. Strain and pour into a very chilled apple. Apple should be cored and hollowed out. Top with whipped cream and caramel drizzle.

The trick is to cut the bottom of the apple just enough to have a flat surface where the apple can balance on its own. Using homemade whipped cream will elevate this cocktail, you can even add spices to your cream topping.
