About
The Caramel Apple Cider Cocktail is a rich, autumnal drink that layers the sweet-butter depth of caramel vodka with the earthy complexity of apple brandy, the natural sweetness of apple cider, and the warmth of maple syrup. Fresh lemon juice keeps the sweetness grounded, and a dusting of cinnamon on top ties all the fall flavors together into a cohesive whole. It is more nuanced than a simple cider punch and more warming than a standard martini — a drink that belongs in a cozy cabin with a fireplace in the background.
