Snapshots from the UK: Brothers Toffee Apple Cider, a Caramel Apple-Flavored Beverage
When I was young, I spent Halloween night bobbing for apples with my hands behind my back. I remember thinking how silly it was, when I could get a perfectly delicious apple coated in caramel neatly perched on a stick. And now even that seems barbaric when I can drink my caramel apples from a beer bottle.
Brothers Toffee Apple Cider tastes of sweet, alcoholic, bubbling apple cider with melted caramel stirred up inside, described quite correctly by the company as tasting something like "cream soda." It was originally developed for Halloween, but was so popular the company now bottles it year-round.
For an American away from America during the all-American season from Halloween to Thanksgiving, the super sweet drink tastes reassuringly just like what it says on the bottle: caramel apples. It is one of the most festive things I've found this season.

I got it in my MCR bar, which stocks up at a discount liquor store down the road. Sorry that's not the best place to advertise where to buy it, but I have seen it for sale online as well. Try:
