This post is sponsored in conjunction with ChristmasSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the ChristmasSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
This Master Mix is for a delicious cup of buttery, caramel, apple cider with just the right spices of the season. It makes for perfect gifts or to put out for a party as well. Keep a container of this mix on hand all season long for seasonal cups any time you like.
Secret Ingredients:
The key to pushing your Apple Cider over the top is today's recipe. It comes in 2 parts.
The first is the spiced honey, brown sugar butter mix.
The second is Torani's Salted Caramel Syrup. They are a sponsor of #ChristmasSweetsWeek and provided products for recipe development as well as prizes for the giveaway. I felt the Salted Caramel flavor would be PERFECT for this wonderful beverage and I was right! Adding a splash to each serving pushed this drink over the top! (Now.. where do I hide this bottle from the rest of the family?)
Party Bar: This would be the perfect addition to a Hot Chocolate Bar at a party! If you want to make this in larger quantities for a party, increase the recipe from individual servings to the amount you need, and simmer the cider and salted caramel syrup on warm in a crock pot. Or heat before needing and put in a pump coffee dispenser. Then place the buttered mixture next to it with instructions next to the glassware to add a 1-2 teaspoons to glass before adding cider. Then use cinnamon stick to stir! Would be so fun for a party! (Also have bowls of add ins like cranberries, orange slices with a bit of peel, small apple slices , whip cream, and caramel drizzle.
Speaking of Glassware: Joy Jolt Provided us with BEAUTIFUL glassware for the development of beverages this week! There selection of glassware is delicious, and I had a hard time choosing from their amazing styles, but in the end, I chose these beautiful Irish Coffee Mugs, that I knew would be perfect for my Apple Cider Drinks!
Now... Let' get started making this great recipe!
