Warm Caramel Apple Cider Cocktail
What are some of the best things about fall? The cool crisp air, warm and cozy drinks, and caramel! We love all things caramel and this warm caramel apple cider cocktail is no different! You only need two ingredients- plus your toppings to make this, and it will have your whole home smelling like delicious apple cider. We’re so excited to add this to our favorite fall cocktails list.
Apple cider is a perfect fall drink. It is not too sweet, so the caramel adds the right amount of sweetness to make it perfect for any Thanksgiving table. While it’s perfect all Fall long, Apple cider at Thanksgiving is always a popular choice because it’s not too heavy or filling. The addition of Smirnoff Kissed Caramel vodka makes it just right for holiday family gatherings. Not to mention, this goes great with any Thanksgiving dessert.
Here’s what you’ll need to make these warm Caramel Apple Cider cocktails-
- 1 1/2 cups of apple cider- we prefer Musselman’s and you can find it in your produce section of your grocery store this time of year, or near the apple juice.
- 2 oz. Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Vodka or Pinnacle Caramel Vodka, they are both great options.
For toppings, I recommend whipped cream, caramel sauce, and our favorite- honeycrisp apple slices.
Honeycrisp apples are widely recognized for their taste and crispness. They are perfect for eating fresh, and are one of the sweetest apples you can buy.
To make this warm caramel apple cider cocktail, simply add your apple cider to a small sauce pan and heat over medium-low heat, until warm and steamy. Add the cider to your favorite mug, add vodka and top with your desired toppings.
Yum! You can easily double or triple the amounts to make more than one mug.
You can also make these family friendly by omitting the caramel vodka for younger family members and adding more caramel sauce directly to the warm cider.
There isn’t much better than curling up on the couch with a warm drink, sweet treats, and a spooky movie for Fall.
