Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. Coat glass rims with caramel sauce, then dip into brown sugar to create a caramelized rim. Set aside.
  2. In a pitcher, whisk apple cider, caramel sauce, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Fill prepared glasses with ice cubes.
  4. Pour apple cider mixture into glasses, filling about 3/4 full.
  5. Top with sparkling water or club soda for effervescence.
  6. Garnish with thin green apple slices. Serve immediately.

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.
