Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 3 cups apple cider
- 2 cups ginger ale or sparkling apple juice
- ¼ cup caramel syrup
Garnish & Serving
- Apple slices for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Mix base liquids: In a large pitcher, combine the apple cider and caramel syrup. Stir thoroughly until the caramel syrup is fully incorporated, creating a smooth and sweet base for the punch.
- Add carbonation and chill: Just before serving, add the ginger ale or sparkling apple juice to the pitcher along with plenty of ice cubes to chill the mixture and add a refreshing sparkle.
- Garnish and serve: Pour the punch into glasses and garnish each with fresh apple slices. Optionally, drizzle additional caramel syrup on top for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Rim glasses with caramel syrup and sugar to enhance presentation and add sweetness.
- This punch can be prepared ahead of time by mixing the cider and caramel syrup, then chilled for up to 4 hours before adding the ginger ale and ice to maintain fizz.
- For a non-sparkling option, substitute ginger ale with apple juice.
- Use a good quality caramel syrup to ensure a rich flavor.
