Fall is in the air and it's time to change it up. Everyone is obsessed with pumpkin everything, but I am more of an apple girl. There are apple cider donuts, apple cider muffins, apple cider candles, and the list goes on. Why not make an Apple Cider Float? It's honestly, more of a dessert than a drink, but it worth every calorie. It's such a versatile drink that you can easily change what sparkling apple beverage you use to create it!

Grab your favorite salted caramel ice cream and add it to a Moscow Mule Metal Cup. I choose my favorite Halo Top Salted Caramel Ice Cream. I added two scoops, but you can add as much as you want.

Carefully pour in your sparkling apple cider or beverage. As I was making this drink, I had a ton of ideas of how you could make this drink. I went with my favorite Sparkling Apple Izze drink. However, you could add any sparkling apple juice, apple cider, or if you want to make this an alcholic beverage add vanilla vodka to your cup!

Top your float with a generous amount of whipped cream. Seriously, whipped cream makes every drink taste better. Plus, it makes your drink look pretty and we tend to eat or drink food that is pleasing to the eye!

We already added salted caramel ice cream to this delicious drink, but you just can't have enough caramel. Top your whipped cream with a ton of caramel sauce. This caramel sauce was actually made for ice cream, so I thought it would totally be appropriate for this decadent drink!

Sprinkle your drink with a touch of cinnamon. Cinnamon is a great addition to this super sweet drink. Let's be honest, it's more of a dessert than it is a drink.

Serve your drink on a Wood Slice Coaster. Add one of these Solid Rose Gold Foil Straws. They are the perfect compliment to this beautiful beverage. You will also want to serve this drink with a Premium Metallic Rose Gold Spoon so you can eat every last morsel of it.
