Equipment

Ingredients

Garnish (optional)

  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 1 slice apple

Cocktail

  • ½ ounce applejack (see Notes)
  • 2 ounces apple cider
  • 3 ounces sparkling wine
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Garnish

  • Add the cinnamon sugar to one small plate and the caramel sauce to the other.
  • Dip the rim of the cocktail glass into the caramel sauce. Hold the glass over the sauce upside-down for a few seconds, so any excess will drip back onto the plate instead of down the side of the glass.
  • Dip the caramel-coated rim into the cinnamon sugar so that it sticks to the caramel all the way around the glass. Set the glass aside.
  • Using a sharp paring knife, cut your apple slice and make a small notch in the side of the apple slice. This will be where you attach the apple to the rim of the glass. Set the apple slice aside.

Cocktail

  • Add the applejack to your serving glass, being careful not to disturb the sugared rim.
  • Add in the apple cider to the glass.
  • Open your sparkling wine and pour it into the glass.
  • Add the apple slice to the rim of the glass, and serve.

Notes

  • You can omit the applejack if you want to make a lower-alcohol drink. If you do, I suggest using a spiced apple cider rather than plain apple cider.
