Starbucks Apple Cider: Cinnamon spiced cider topped with a decadent caramel drizzle and whipped cream.
Whoah there!
I’m not quite ready for peppermint mochas or hot cocoas. I’m going to enjoy Fall until at least the end of November. My favorite fall beverage is apple cider. You know who makes really good cider? Starbucks!! Starbucks Apple Cider is to die for! Hot or cold it’s spicy and comforting.
If you’re not willing to pay $4+ a cup for Starbucks Apple Cider your in the right place. This Starbucks Apple Cider with Caramel is an exact copycat of their recipe.
P.S. The extra cinnamon dolce syrup goes great in this latte.

Just sayin’, but adding spice and/or caramel to apple juice doesn’t make it ‘cider’. I’ll bet the cinnamon syrup does kick cider up a notch, though.
