Butterscotch Apple Drink Ingredients
Makes: 1 co*cktail
Prep: 5 Minutes
(For a non-alcoholic version, replace the butterscotch liqueur with this butterscotch syrup.)
Pour this drink into a glass or fill a co*cktail shaker with ice and shake it together; either way you’ll end up with a sweet and delicious co*cktail!
- 1/4 honey crisp apple – you’ll want to slice this, either with a knife or an apple slicer.
- 1 oz Schnapps butterscotch liqueur – pairs perfectly with the apple flavor to make a sweet and unique drink!
- apple juice – you could also use apple cider for a drink with even more autumnal flavor.
- cinnamon sticks – for garnish.
- cinnamon – for topping.
Instructions
An apple slicer like this one makes cutting apples so much easier.
- Slice the apple into thin slices. I love using one of these sturdy apple slicers – they both core and slice.
- And the eight slices are just the right size for adding one or two to your co*cktail glass.
- In your glass, first add a few ice cubes. Pour 1 oz butterscotch liqueur over the ice. Add a couple of apples slices to each glass.
- Pour apple juice over the ice and liqueur, then top with a little sprinkle of cinnamon. Garnish with cinnamon sticks.
We love using these double walled co*cktail glasses! Insulated to keep hot drinks hot and cool drinks cool – perfect for your guests! They come in a set of 2 or 4; I’ve ordered 2 sets of 4 so we have enough on hand for a larger group of friends.

FAQ
What alcohol goes best with apples?
- A great way to make a simple co*cktail for the fall months is to mix apple juice or apple cider with some alcohol. Whiskey and rum are both great options for nice warm, spicy drinks, but you can also mix apple cider with some beer to make an autumnal shandy.
How do you use apples in co*cktails?
- For these caramel apple co*cktails, garnishing with apple slices or diced apple is a great way to incorporate some of the actual fruit into the drink beyond the apple juice. Fruit is a fantastic ingredient to add to any co*cktail for some natural sweetness. For instance, if you love peaches, you’ll definitely want to try these Crown Royal Peach Shooters. Experiment with all your favorite fresh fruits!
What kind of alcohol is butterscotch schnapps?
- Schnapps is a type of liqueur, and the butterscotch flavor in this particular variety comes from a blend of the flavors of butter and brown sugar.
These co*cktails can be served in a wide variety of ways, all of them as delicious as the next!
Variations
