Two Apple Cider Floats in mason jar glasses on a table in a light, bright home kitchen

Ever heard of Apple Cider Floats? If you haven’t, and you’ve never tried one, you’re in for a treat! Made with warm, spiced apple cider and topped with vanilla ice cream, this is the ideal non-alcoholic dessert drink to enjoy before tucking into that slice of pumpkin pie. Comforting, delicious, and perfect for Thanksgiving. 

QUICK TIPS

01

Turn this into a spiked Apple Cider Float by adding 2 oz bourbon or spiced rum to the apple cider. Yum! 

02

Brush apple slices with lemon to prevent them from browning.  

03

Go ahead and swap out the vanilla ice cream for something more adventurous, like caramel, cinnamon, or apple pie flavor
