Apple cider season is in full swing. I am pretty sure I have three gallons between the garage fridge and kitchen fridge. Then I discovered the amazing thing caramel vodka is. Love caramel apples, then you are sure to love caramel vodka apple cider cocktail.
My friends and I sometimes get together so our husbands can all sit around chatting about the weather and farming. You know, the typical farmer talk...
How many times have you cut hay this season?
Have you side dressed the corn yet?
When are you going to start cutting beans?
What are your yields like?
How are the lines at the elevator?
Have salesmen started rolling up the driveway at your farm?
These get-togethers may be for the wives, but the men benefit. Every. Single. Time. It is like this adult fraternity. And let's be honest, we have our own type of sorority. The type of sorority that revolves around taking pictures of food before we let anyone eat. The type that gives each other photo boards made from old barn wood.
Caramel Vodka Apple Cider Cocktail Ingredients
The last time I got together with some friends, I walked in with a gallon of apple cider. My friend then proceeded to say how she loved cider and caramel vodka. And of course, I just grinned at her.
And pulled out a bottle of caramel vodka.
Apple Cider needs an adult version besides hard ciders.
- Vodka - Specifically, caramel vodka makes enough subtle caramel flavor to make this cocktail taste like a caramel apple.
- Apple Cider - Bring the apple flavor in with fresh apple cider for you to have the best caramel apple cider cocktail recipe.
How to Make Caramel Apple Cider Vodka Cocktail
Begin with filling your favorite cup with ice. Then grab your cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Pour caramel vodka and apple cider into the cocktail shaker. Then pour the shaken apple cider cocktail into the glass filled with ice.
The caramel vodka apple cider cocktail is that easy to make. You will want to go ahead and stock up on caramel vodka and apple cider. Now you know how another night as a farmwife has gone down. Now, go make your caramel apple cider cocktails before apple cider season ends.
Variations to Caramel Apple Cocktails
Whether it is not having caramel vodka or not liking flavored vodkas, here are ways to make the cocktail with several variations.
- Caramel Sauce - Just stir caramel sauce into the cider and rim the glass with caramel for an even more caramel-ly apple vodka cocktail.
- Caramel Syrup - Like the caramel syrup you put into your coffee, stir this caramel syrup into the apple cider and unflavored vodka for a more subtle caramel apple vodka.
- Vanilla Sugar - Using vanilla-flavored sugars on the rim is a nice subtle way to add vanilla flavors to the cider.

Oh! My! Yum! I'm pinning to try. I'm throwing an apple cider and donut party for my son's 1st birthday, and I think by the end of it I'll be spiking my apple cider and this looks like the perfect recipe to do so.
Leah Beyer
I think every mother needs this at their son's 1st birthday party. Happy Birthday to your little guy.
Diane
Can you drink this hot
Leah Beyer
Absolutely!
Laura
I tried this hot last night--very good! Even the slighest bit of caramel is pretty sweet... any thoughts on neutralizing the caramel flavor just a little bit? I don't want to lessen the amount I put in, because, well... that defeats the purpose! 🙂
Carolyn
Maybe use a mix of vanilla and caramel vodka ?
Christopher
Try adding some apple vodka to it with the Carmel or if you can find salted Carmel vodka you will be in business!
Lauren
Love this drink! Add some Apple pucker to make it less sweet and it’s delicious ?
Brie
Could you make this in a crock pot?
Leah Beyer
Yes, just add the vodka to the mug.
Sue
Yes! I usually have this for several fall events. I have the cider in the crockpot and let everyone decide between Caramel Vodka or Fireball. Always a big hit!
Christine
Could you make this up in a big batch?
Leah Beyer
absolutely you can. Just multiple the proportions evenly.
Antonella
Can you serve this warm?
Leah Beyer
Absolutely. Just add the vodka right before serving.
Slam
The perfect balance is pilot grigio in the mix. I don't like it way too sweet.
Donna Olson
Simple, easy, delicious! Just what I was looking for!! Thank you.
Ashley
Can I make this for a crowd and what do you think the measurements would be??
Sunny Girlz
Very good! Pretty sweet you could add a little seltzer to make it not so sweet.
