Description

This Caramel Apple Mocktail is a delightful non-alcoholic drink that perfectly combines the warm, sweet flavors of caramel with crisp apple cider and spicy ginger beer. Garnished with a cinnamon stick and a demerara sugar rim, it creates a festive and comforting beverage ideal for gatherings or cozy evenings.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Rim

  • ⅓ cup homemade caramel sauce, warmed
  • ⅓ cup demerara sugar

For the Drink

  • 2 ounces homemade caramel sauce, warmed (¼ cup)
  • 7 ounces apple cider, chilled
  • 7 ounces ginger beer, chilled

For the Garnish

  • 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass Rim: Dip the rim of each glass into the warmed homemade caramel sauce, ensuring the rim is fully coated, then immediately dip it into the demerara sugar so it sticks to the caramel, creating a sweet, crunchy rim.
  2. Add Caramel Sauce: Pour 2 ounces (¼ cup) of the warmed caramel sauce into each glass to create a rich base layer of flavor.
  3. Add Apple Cider: Pour 7 ounces of chilled apple cider into each glass over the caramel sauce, combining crisp apple flavor with the sweetness.
  4. Top with Ginger Beer: Finish by adding 7 ounces of chilled ginger beer to each glass for a spicy, fizzy element that balances the sweetness.
  5. Mix the Drink: Stir gently until the ingredients are well combined, ensuring the flavors meld together without dissipating the carbonation.
  6. Garnish: Place a cinnamon stick in each glass as a garnish for added aroma and a festive touch. Serve immediately for best flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use homemade caramel sauce for the best rich flavor, or substitute with store-bought caramel if pressed for time.
  • Chilling the apple cider and ginger beer beforehand keeps the mocktail refreshingly cold without diluting the drink with ice.
  • The cinnamon stick garnish adds subtle spice and can be stirred for extra flavor infusion.
  • For an extra festive touch, consider adding a thin apple slice on the rim alongside the caramel and sugar coating.
