Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup apple cider (fresh-pressed or bottled)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup sparkling water or club soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 green apple, thinly sliced
- Ice cubes
- Brown sugar (for glass rim)
Instructions

Notes
Use large ice cubes to avoid dilution. Always add sparkling water just before serving to preserve carbonation. Lemon juice balances sweetness and prevents the drink from being overly rich.
