"A wonderful twist on hot apple ciders; great for the holiday season and for warming up on chilly evenings."

 

• Ready In: 10mins

ingredients

• 6 ounces apple juice (Treetop 100% Juice is best!)
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1⁄2 ounce caramel syrup (Torani brand, or something similar)
• 1 ounce vodka (the smoother, the better ( as middle of the road, I recommend Three Olives brand vodka)
• whipped cream (optional)
• caramel sauce (optional)

directions

1. In a saucepan, bring the apple juice, cinnamon, and caramel syrup to a boil.
2. Reduce heat, and add vodka.
3. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes
4. Serve in a mug.
5. Top off with whipped cream, another dash of cinnamon, and/or caramel sauce, if you prefer.

I used Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum instead of Vodka and therefore cut the cinnamon in half. It came out amazing! It reminds me of a Caramel Apple Cider from Starbucks and is definietly a great holiday drink. Thanks!

Yum! I started to make this, thinking I had plain vodka but all I had was cranberry. I used it anyway and it worked great. The only other change I made was only using 1 tsp of cinnamon (2 seemed like a lot to me). This was excellent! Thanks for the recipe!
