No reviews

Crisp apple juice meets smooth caramel and a touch of lime in this golden, gently sparkling drink. It’s a nostalgic twist that tastes like the first bite of a caramel-dipped apple – sweet, tart, and delightfully balanced.
Perfect for fall afternoons or Thanksgiving gatherings, this drink is refreshing, visually beautiful, and easy to make.

  • Total Time: 3 minutes
  • Yield: 1 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 240 ml Apple Juice (chilled)
  • 15 ml Caramel Syrup
  • 5 ml Fresh Lime Juice
  • 60 ml Sparkling Water (chilled)
  • Ice Cubes
  • Apple Slice or Caramel Drizzle (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by chilling your highball glass to keep the drink crisp.
  2. Pour in the apple juice, caramel syrup, and a squeeze of lime juice. Stir slowly until the caramel melts smoothly into the juice, turning it a warm golden shade.
  3. Add ice cubes and top with chilled sparkling water for a lively fizz. Stir once or twice – just enough to blend, without flattening the sparkle.
  4. The result is a beautifully layered drink that’s both sweet and zesty, with caramel’s richness softened by citrus.
  5. Optional Garnish: Drizzle caramel along the rim or float an apple slice on top for an elegant finish.
  6. Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon or sea salt for extra depth – or swap in spiced caramel syrup for a festive variation.
