Notes
Regular whiskey with caramel syrup also works. Chill ingredients for a colder punch. Add extra caramel syrup for more flavor. Scales up for groups. For non-alcoholic, use cider and caramel-flavored milk. A pinch of flaky sea salt cuts the sweetness. Martini glasses make it fancy but any glass works. Serve cold for best texture.
