Preparation

Step 1

For garnish, unwrap candies and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave candies on high in 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until caramel is melted and smooth.

Dip apple slices in caramel and place dipped apples on a plate with parchment or wax paper. Let apples chill in the fridge.  You'll have enough garnishes for about 10 cocktails.  If you don't wish to make that many cocktails, the garnishes make awesome snacks too!

To make a cocktail, combine ingredients in a shaker with lots of ice. Top and shake vigorously.

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with caramel apple slice.

Tips:

You can serve this cocktail on the rocks, but strain it into a glass with fresh ice. I like to use larger ice cubes for a manhattan like this.
