Ingredients
Scale
For the Drink
- Caramel sauce (enough to drizzle around a 16-ounce glass)
- Nugget ice (enough to fill the glass about 3/4 full)
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 5 ounces apple cider
- 6 ounces Crisp Apple Olipop (or Sprite as alternative)
For Garnish
- 1 freeze-dried apple slice
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Drizzle caramel sauce generously around the sides and bottom of a 16-ounce glass. For a sweeter drink, add extra caramel to coat the glass thoroughly.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass with nugget ice until it is about three-quarters full to keep the drink well-chilled without diluting the flavor too quickly.
- Add Cinnamon: Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the ice for a warm, aromatic touch that enhances the autumnal flavor profile.
- Combine Liquids: Pour 5 ounces of apple cider into the glass, then top it with 6 ounces of Crisp Apple Olipop or Sprite to add a fizzy, crisp texture and complement the apple flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by adding a freeze-dried apple slice and cinnamon stick as garnishes. Serve immediately with a straw for a refreshing sip.
Notes
- Use nugget ice for better cooling and texture; crushed ice can be a substitute if nugget ice isn’t available.
- Olipop adds a unique prebiotic and botanical flavor, but Sprite works well if a sweeter soda is preferred.
- Adjust caramel sauce quantity based on your sweetness preference.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fizzy texture at its best.
- This is a no-cook, quick-to-assemble beverage ideal for fall or whenever craving a crisp apple drink.
