Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups apple cider divided
  • 0.5 cup caramel sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cups ginger ale chilled

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of the apple cider, the caramel sauce, and ground cinnamon; warm over medium-low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, whisking until the caramel is fully dissolved.
  2. Pour the caramel mixture into a pitcher or punch bowl.
  3. Stir in the remaining 6 cups apple cider.
  4. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours.
  5. Just before serving, stir in the chilled ginger ale.

Notes

Add the ginger ale just before serving to keep the punch fizzy. Refrigerate the cider-caramel base for up to 3 days; do not freeze. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free caramel sauce.
