Print Recipe

Sweet, salty, and packed with cozy fall flavors, this salted caramel apple cider cocktail is the perfect drink to sip while snuggled under a blanket or while hosting a festive gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) fresh, unfiltered apple cider
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) salted caramel sauce
  • 4 ounces (120 ml) bourbon
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 g) ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Cinnamon stick (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat 2 cups (480 ml) of apple cider over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring it to a gentle simmer—this should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Once the cider is warm, whisk in 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of salted caramel sauce until fully incorporated. Taste and add more if you prefer a sweeter drink.
  3. Add 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 g) ground cinnamon and a tiny pinch of sea salt. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 4 ounces (120 ml) of bourbon, adjusting the amount to taste. For a non-alcoholic version, skip this step.
  5. Pour the mixture into your serving glasses, leaving a little room at the top for garnish.
  6. Top each glass with whipped cream, a drizzle of salted caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Add a cinnamon stick for an elegant touch.

Notes

[‘Use high-quality apple cider for the best flavor.’, ‘A pinch of good-quality sea salt enhances the caramel’s flavor and balances the sweetness.’, ‘Feel free to tweak the caramel and bourbon amounts based on your preference for sweetness or alcohol strength.’, “Whisk the caramel thoroughly into the cider while it’s still warm to avoid any lumps.”, ‘You can prepare the cocktail base ahead of time and refrigerate it. Just reheat gently when ready to serve.’]
