CREAMY APPLE CIDER FLOAT

Had my first hot apple cider float at a fall festival here in western New York. Warm, creamy, and frothy. The mulling spices make it taste like you're drinking a hot cup of apple pie. Once you try it you can't put it down. Vanilla or pumpkin ice cream work best.

Tips:

  • Homemade Apple Cider: If you have the time, make your own apple cider for a fresher, more flavorful float. Simply simmer apple slices in water with cinnamon sticks and a touch of sugar until softened.
  • Chill Ingredients Thoroughly: Make sure your apple cider, soda, and ice cream are well-chilled before assembling the floats. This will help them stay cold and bubbly.
  • Garnish Generously: Top your floats with whipped cream, caramel sauce, cinnamon sugar, or a sprinkle of grated nutmeg for an extra special touch.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Try different soda varieties like ginger ale, root beer, or even sparkling water for a unique twist on the classic apple cider float.
