SALTED CARAMEL APPLE JACK (NON-ALC) 🍎🥨
A decadent, tavern-style "jack" that tastes like a harvest festival in a glass. This drink combines the crisp acidity of fresh apple cider with the deep, buttery notes of salted caramel. It’s served cold but carries a warming spice profile that makes it a perfect companion for a winter’s night by the fire.

INSTRUCTIONS:
* Rim a heavy tavern glass or mason jar by dipping it first into salted caramel sauce and then into crushed pretzels.
* In a cocktail shaker, combine the apple cider, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of salted caramel sauce, and a pinch of cinnamon.
* Add the cannabis tincture (10mg).
* Fill with ice and shake vigorously to ensure the caramel is fully integrated into the cold cider.
* Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice.
* Garnish with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick.
CHEF TIPS:
The Cider: Always use unfiltered "farm-style" cider for that cloudy, rustic tavern look and a thicker mouthfeel.
The Salt: If your caramel sauce isn't salty enough, add a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt directly into the shaker to make the flavors pop.
The Rim: The pretzel rim provides a necessary savory crunch that keeps the drink from feeling overly sweet.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Salted Caramel Apple Jack responsibly 🍎🥨
