Caramel Apple Bourbon Slush Cocktails

By srumbel

Caramel apple has always been a favorite fall flavor for me, and with bourbon drinks being all the rage right now, it only makes sense to combine the two. The flavors work beautifully together, with the bourbon lending an earthy warmth and slight smokiness to the toasty and sweet flavors of caramel and apple.

Ingredients

• 4 ounces apple cider
• 2 ounces bourbon whiskey
• 3 tablespoons salted caramel sauce (plus extra for rimming the glasses)
• 2 medium-sized apples; peeled, cored, and quartered
• 2 cups ice
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped peanuts (for rimming the glasses)

Preparation

Step 1

Place a small amount of caramel sauce on a plate, and dip the rims of the drinking glasses in.

Then place the chopped peanuts on a plate, and dip the caramel-rimmed glasses in until well-coated.

Put the apple cider, bourbon, caramel sauce, apples, and ice in the jar of the KitchenAid® Pro Line® Series Blender. Secure the lid and set the blender dial to the Smoothie setting. Blend until the machine turns itself off.

Divide the mixture equally between the two glasses, and serve immediately.
