Hello my friends, It's December, and you know what that means?? It's time to celebrate and cheer with a special spiked drink that I am calling Caramel Apple Cider Vodka Punch. I have been looking forward to the holiday season because I love the whole spirit of the season with traditional Christmas songs and the colorful lights. I believe now more than ever we need to change our mood and have faith about the future of our country.

When I first planned to make a seasonal drink with apple cider and caramel, I started to imagine being up north with the snow, and feeling cozy sipping a hot caramel apple cider in front of the fireplace. But last Sunday I realized that whole idea was wrong for the drink recipe because I DO live in sunny Miami. The city was calling for a festive fall drink for 75-degree weather. So my inspiration comes from my experience of Geoffrey and I having a cocktail or fruit punch on Ocean Drive, sitting at one of the sidewalk restaurants where you just sit there watching people walking along. If you live or visited South Beach, you know what I'm talking about!!

If you haven't been to South Beach, put it on your bucket list of places that you want to visit. It's a fun place with beautiful beaches, unique hotels, cute and fit people, a melting pot of cultures, and wild nightlife (or at least it used to be - I haven't been out in ages.) Here in Miami, Geoffrey and I have many more places still to discover. Besides beaches and parties, you can find art too. Yes!! Here in Miami.
the Caramel Apple Cider Vodka Punch Recipe
This punch sounds sweet, but it is not too sweet. This fruity, festive and alcoholic beverage to celebrate the holidays; Hanukkah or Christmas season is easy to make and serves eight people. The vodka and the lemon juice cut the sweetness and balance the flavor. Get a large pitcher and add the apple cider, vodka, grenadine, lemon juice, and some sliced apple. Pour in some L’Epicurien Salted Butter Caramel Spread, which we have available in our online shop. You can also use any of our flavored Goat's Milk Caramel Sauces. Mix and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
If you prefer it without fruit, that’s fine. You can then call it a cocktail. But if you add the fruit, you can call it a punch. I melted the caramel for 10 seconds in the microwave for it to be able to dissolve better in the cold drink. Once you perfect making this punch, and try some of our other cocktails, you might even consider getting a bartending job in your spare time. It's great for meeting people and some extra cash.
The Caramel Apple Cider Vodka Punch recipe is perfect for your upcoming holiday party because it takes no time at all to prepare, and you can make several batches and keep it in the refrigerator. Set a space on the drink table with a large pitcher, a bucket of ice, and place in a fine glass bowl the sliced apples and persimmon. This way you give the option to your guests to choose how they want the drink – cocktail or punch.
Some people call this drink a Caramel Apple Cocktail or a Spiked Caramel Apple Cider. I think this drink deserves a more fun name, and I want “vodka” and “punch” to be in the name of this recipe.

This punch sounds amazing. I love a good grown up punch. One of these days, we're going to get out of this quarantine and have a party and I'm serving this. In the meantime, I'll just enjoy it for myself.

This may be a silly question-
Use 1 1/2 cups of Vodka right?
Geoffrey @ Spoonabilities
Not a silly question. I see how it may be confusing and I'll fix. Yes, 1 & 1/2 cups of vodka. Enjoy!
