# Adult Apple Ciders This Caramel Apple Cider Cocktail is Topped With All the Autumnal Trimmings By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-09-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-apple-cider References: [sugarcoatedinspiration](http://www.sugarcoatedinspiration.com/2015/09/adult-caramel-apple-cider.html) This caramel apple cider is a more adult take on the classic autumnal drink. Created by Rachel Kivlahan at the blog Sugar Coated Inspiration, the warm alcoholic beverage is described as being "like a hug in a mason jar." Of course, that depends on the container it is served in as well. If you are feeling festive and ready to welcome the fall season, you can recreate this recipe at home. You will need ingredients such as store-bought (but good quality) apple cider plus [Stoli Salted Karamel vodka](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xix-vodka-toffee-apple) to make the [adult caramel apple cider](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-apple-lemonade). The toppings are what make this libation truly decadent. You might want to add pumpkin pie-flavored whipped cream, cinnamon and pumpkin biscotti. A homemade caramel drizzle (consisting of butter, brown sugar, warm milk or cream and vanilla) is always a good idea. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Adult Apple Ciders:** Opportunity for creating innovative alcoholic beverages with a twist on classic fall flavors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to develop new alcoholic products that cater to adult consumers in seasonal markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fall Spice Apple Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-spice-apple-cider.md) - [Apple Wine Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angry-orchard-canned-cocktail.md) - [Maple-Laced Spiced Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiced-ciders.md) - [Autumnal Apple Cafe Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caribou-coffee-new-fall-menu.md) - [Juicy Fall-Inspired Alcoholic Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simply-spiked-cranberry.md) - [Caramel Apple-Flavored Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-salt-caramel-apple-latte.md) - [Autumnal Balsamic Vinegars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-cider-balsamic-vinegar.md) - [Cocktail-Inspired Hard Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-fashioned-cocktail-hard-cider.md) - [Cider-Paired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-ice-cream-flavor.md)
