Caramel Apple Alcoholic Drink Recipe
To make a caramel apple alcoholic drink, combine 1 oz. apple schnapps, 1 oz. vodka, and 1 oz. caramel syrup in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a glass. Top with apple cider and a cinnamon stick for garnish. For a richer taste, drizzle extra caramel syrup on the rim and serve chilled. Enjoy this sweet, cozy cocktail!
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Strainer (optional)
- Cocktail glass (preferably a rocks glass or highball glass)
- Jigger or measuring spoons
- Knife (for slicing apple garnish)
- Stirring stick or straw (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 oz Apple cider fresh or unfiltered
- 1.5 oz Caramel vodka or regular vodka with 1 oz caramel syrup
- 0.5 oz Apple brandy or Calvados optional, for added depth
- 0.5 oz Fresh lemon juice
- Apple slices for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by chilling your cocktail glass by filling it with ice water for a few minutes while preparing the drink.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the apple cider, caramel vodka (or vodka and caramel syrup mix), apple brandy (if using), and fresh lemon juice.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled. If desired, strain the mixture into your prepared glass over fresh ice. You can skip this step if you prefer a more rustic, full-bodied texture.
- Slice a few apple wedges and place them on the rim of the glass or drop them into the drink as a garnish. Stir gently to combine the flavors and enjoy your delicious, fall-inspired caramel apple cocktail!
Notes
You can adjust the level of sweetness based on your personal preference. If you prefer a less sugary drink, reduce the amount of caramel syrup or butterscotch schnapps.
Make sure to use fresh apple cider for the best flavor. Store-bought options can sometimes have added preservatives or sugars that alter the taste.
