CREAMY APPLE CIDER FLOAT



Creamy Apple Cider Float image

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.

CREAMY CIDER PUNCH



Creamy Cider Punch image

This is a wonderful and OH SO SIMPLE Fall Punch! With only 3 ingredients ... it's hard to call it a "recipe". But I thought I'd post it anyway as it is great to serve for gatherings during the autumn months.

Provided by kim * @Bakerella

Categories     Ice Cream Drinks

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
1 gallon jug of fresh apple cider
- freshly grated nutmeg
- (i suppose you can use pre-grated, but the fresh kind makes such a difference)

Steps:

  • Place entire block of ice-cream (as is) in bottom of punch bowl.
  • Pour cider over ice-cream filling punch bowl ... and generously dust top with freshly grated nutmeg.
  • No need to stir or anything. Ice-cream melts and blends with cider to make a delicious creamy, frothy beverage, like "apple pie ala'mode" in a glass.
  • Continue to fill with remaining cider as needed until ice-cream is gone.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cider: Use a hard cider that you enjoy drinking on its own. A dry or semi-dry cider will work best in this recipe. Avoid using a sweet cider, as it will make the punch too sweet.
  • Make the punch ahead of time: This punch can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This gives the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Serve the punch chilled: Serve the punch over ice or in chilled glasses. You can also garnish the punch with apple slices, cinnamon sticks, or nutmeg.
  • Add a splash of sparkling water: If you want to make the punch a little more festive, you can add a splash of sparkling water or ginger ale.
  • Experiment with different flavors: You can add other flavors to this punch, such as cranberry juice, orange juice, or pineapple juice. You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves.

Conclusion:

This creamy cider punch is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a refreshing and flavorful drink, give this creamy cider punch a try!
