Notes

Use fresh apple cider – It makes a big difference in flavor! The fresher, the better.
Chill your ingredients – Keep the apple cider in the fridge, so your cocktail is cold without needing too much ice (nobody likes a watered-down drink!).
Adjust the sweetness – Caramel vodka is sweet, so if you like things less sugary, add a little less, or balance it with more cider.
Add a cinnamon stick – It’s an easy way to make the drink look fancy, and it gives extra flavor as it sits.
Try it warm – If it’s chilly outside, heat the cider first for a cozy, warm version of this cocktail.
Don’t forget the garnish – A slice of apple or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top can make it extra special for guests!
