Ingredients

Scale

For the Cocktail

1 oz apple juice (in place of vodka)
½ oz spiced apple syrup (or cinnamon syrup, replacing Captain Morgan Apple Spiced Rum)
½ oz butterscotch syrup (instead of Butterscotch Schnapps)
2 oz apple cider
2 oz vanilla coffee creamer (or milk plus vanilla syrup)
Ice

For Garnish

Caramel sauce (for drizzle)
Optional: whipped cream for topping

Instructions

Prepare the Glass: Pour caramel sauce into the inside of your serving glass and swirl it around so it drizzles down the sides, adding a decorative and flavorful touch.
Add Ice to Glass: Fill the prepared glass with ice and set it aside to keep the cocktail chilled.
Mix the Cocktail: In a shaker or a jar with a lid, add ice followed by apple juice, spiced apple syrup, butterscotch syrup, apple cider, and vanilla coffee creamer.
Shake Until Chilled: Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled and creamy, about 15-20 seconds.
Pour and Serve: Strain or pour the shaken mixture into the glass over the ice with the caramel swirl.
Optional Garnish: Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and an additional drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent finish.

Notes

You can substitute vanilla coffee creamer with milk plus a teaspoon of vanilla syrup for a lighter option.
Spiced apple syrup can be homemade by simmering apple cider with cinnamon sticks and cloves, then reducing until syrupy.
This cocktail is non-alcoholic, making it family-friendly and perfect for all ages.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of butterscotch and spiced apple syrups according to taste.
To make it vegan, use a plant-based creamer or milk alternative.
