Description

This Caramel Apple Cider Float is a deliciously cozy yet refreshing treat, perfect for fall! It combines warm spiced apple cider, creamy vanilla ice cream, and a drizzle of rich caramel sauce for a sweet, indulgent drink. Top it off with whipped cream for extra decadence!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups apple cider (warm or chilled)
  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Cinnamon or nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the glasses: Drizzle caramel sauce inside two serving glasses for extra flavor.
  • Add ice cream: Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in each glass.
  • Pour the cider: Slowly pour apple cider over the ice cream. You can use warm cider for a cozy float or chilled cider for a refreshing treat.
  • Garnish: Top with whipped cream, an extra drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
  • Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy!

Notes

  • Warm vs. Cold Cider: Warm cider makes the float extra cozy, while cold cider creates a fizzy, milkshake-like treat. Try both!
  • Alcoholic Version: Add a splash of spiced rum or bourbon for an adult-friendly version.
  • Flavor Variations: Swap vanilla ice cream for cinnamon or caramel ice cream for extra fall flavors.
