This Apple Cider Vodka Cocktail will become your favorite fall cocktail. It's full of seasonal flavors like apples, figs, and cinnamon. Perfect for cool nights by the fire or special celebrations like Thanksgiving or Christmas.
The figs and apples are the perfect combination in this cocktail. It's almost like Christmas in a glass. It's spicy, warm, and sure to be a hit with your guests.
Is there anything more fallish than an apple cider cocktail? I think not, but these fresh figs take this cocktail over. Do not miss out on fresh fig season this year.
So whether it's just you sipping this alone in your slippers on the couch in front of the fireplace (I won't judge) or you are making multiples for your neighbors by the fire pit, it's going to be a hit.
You must know by now that I'm a huge fan of fig jam, especially when it's slathered all over this Baked Brie with Fig Jam or added to my favorite Cheese Platter. So why not add it to this classic autumn cocktail?
In fact, why not sip this cocktail while stuffing your face with brie? That's the best of both worlds.

I'd never have thought to put a bit of jam in a cocktail but it was genius! It added just the right amount of sweetness. Loved this cocktail!
I've tried the Apple Cider and Vodka Cocktail following your recipe, and it was a delightful experience. The balance between the tartness of the cider and the smoothness of the vodka was perfect. Thank you for sharing this; it’s a must-have for autumn evenings.
hey, nice recipe, but can I use apple flavored vodka for this? will it be too much apple?

TechieTodd89, using apple flavored vodka should be fine. It actually might enhance the apple profile of the drink without overpowering it. Just make sure not to use too sweet of a cider!
