Rebecca’s Refresher Drink Tips
- To achieve the absolute best flavor in this apple drink, I highly recommend using Apple Cider from your local apple orchard. The fresh flavor derived from the minimally processed cider delivers an unforgettable flavor that really makes this drink shine!
- Try looking for Crisp Apple Olipop in the canned soda aisle at your local grocery store. I usually have no trouble finding this at Target or Walmart.
- For the best crisp apple refresher, store the apple cider and Crisp Apple Olipop in the fridge ahead of time. This will ensure an ice-cold drink!
- To prevent the refresher from being watered down, you could make apple cider ice cubes ahead of time to use in this drink instead of ice.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, go heavy on the caramel drizzle when lining your cup. You could even drizzle the top of your refresher with more caramel sauce.
- This Apple Crisp Refresher recipe yields 1 drink. To serve drinks to friends and family, simply make multiples of the recipe.
How To Serve The Viral Apple Crisp Refresher
Since this drink is made with carbonated Olipop, I recommend preparing each serving fresh. You could also turn this into a punch by multiplying the ingredients by the number of servings you need and adding them to a punch bowl.
Apple Crisp Refresher Substitutions & Variations
- Caramel – Store-bought caramel sauce or homemade caramel sauce both work great in this recipe.
- Cinnamon – If you prefer, you can omit ground cinnamon from the refresher, but it does add that cozy fall flavor!
- Apple Cider – Fresh, local cider is best, but if you can’t get your hands on any, then store-bought apple cider will be fine. If apple cider isn’t available, apple juice can be used.
- Flavors – Apple cider/juice can be swapped out for white grape juice, pear juice, or cran-apple juice for a flavor variation.
- Crisp Apple Olipop – Ginger ale, sparkling water, or lemon-lime soda such as Sprite, Sierra Mist, or 7-UP can be used in place of Olipop.
- Fun Rim – Dress this Crisp Refresher up even more by dipping the rim of your glass in caramel sauce and then rolling it in cinnamon-sugar.
- Slushie – For an even more refreshing drink, you can turn this Apple Crisp Refresher into a slushie! To do so, blend the ice with the apple cider, then top the drink with Olipop. A great option for those warmer fall days!
- Adult Apple Crisp Refresher – For an alcoholic apple crisp refresher, try adding caramel vodka, whisky, bourbon, or spiced rum to this drink.
- Dirty Soda – Top with a splash of heavy cream for a dirty version of this fun fall drink.
