Hot Spiked Apple Cider with Brandy and Caramel
The mingling of flavors in this cocktail makes it a perfect Fall or Winter drink. I’ve chosen apple brandy, apple cider, and a bit of caramel flavoring syrup. It is that simple. Top it off with homemade sweetened whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes
- Some of the best and freshest ciders are found at your local apple orchard. Make a day of it with the family and go pick apples and grab a gallon of their apple cider while you're there. Choose an unfiltered cider which provides the best color and flavor.
