Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz Apple Brandy: This provides the core flavor and warmth of the drink, bringing in a rich apple taste that complements the other ingredients beautifully.
- 0.5 oz Cinnamon Syrup: Made from equal parts sugar and water infused with cinnamon, this adds sweetness and spice to the punch.
- 2 oz Heavy Cream: The heavy cream gives the punch its luxurious texture, making each sip rich and creamy.
- Cinnamon-Sugar Rim: A mixture of ground cinnamon and sugar that adorns the glass, enhancing the presentation and adding a hint of sweetness with every sip.
- Dried Apple Chip: This acts as a garnish and a flavor enhancer, adding a delightful crunch and visual appeal to the drink.
- A dash of Nutmeg: A sprinkle on top brings warmth and earthiness, completing the flavor profile of the punch.
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Start by creating a cinnamon-sugar rim for your glass. In a shallow dish, mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Moisten the rim of the glass with a little water or simple syrup, then dip it into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring the rim is well coated.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of apple brandy, 0.5 oz of cinnamon syrup, and 2 oz of heavy cream. Add ice to the shaker, filling it halfway.
- Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. You want the mixture to be well combined and chilled, so shake until the outside of the shaker frosts.
- Strain into Glass: Remove the lid and strain the mixed drink into the prepared glass. Use a fine mesh strainer to catch any ice shards for a smoother texture.
- Add Finishing Touches: Garnish your punch with a dried apple chip placed on the rim. Sprinkle a dash of nutmeg on top for added flavor and aroma.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your Cinnamon Apple Cream Punch is ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately while chilled, and savor the beautiful flavors of fall.
