Ingredients

• 1 cup Sweet Home Apple Cider
• 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• Ice cubes or ice sphere
• Apple slices for garnish

Instructions

1. Add Apple Cider, caramel sauce, and cinnamon to a small mixing glass or metal cocktail shaker (no ice).
2. Stir well until the caramel is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
3. Fill a rocks glass with a single large ice sphere (or large ice cubes).
4. Pour the mocktail over the ice.
5. Garnish as desired or serve with a half caramel + cinnamon sugar rim.

Caramel + Cinnamon Sugar Dip

• 2 Tbsp turbinado sugar
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• (Optional: tiny pinch of nutmeg)

How:

• Dip rim in caramel. 
• Tip: For an elegant and less sticky rim, don’t fully coat the rim — just dip half the rim.
• Roll in cinnamon sugar.

Why it works:

• You get caramel flavor and warm spice — very “Southern dessert in a glass.”

Other Serving Tips

• Add fresh cranberries or pomegranate seeds for a colorful, decorative touch.
• Float thin apple slices or a citrus wheel on top for an elegant look.
