How to Make a Fall-Favorite Apple Cider Float

Move over pumpkin spice — there’s a new fall favorite in town. This Apple Cider Float is sweet, spiced, and oh-so-creamy, and the best part? You can make it at home with ingredients from your Modern Milkman delivery.

Featuring Bishop’s Orchards Apple Cider, Oakridge Dairy Heavy Cream, and our Oakridge “Your Turn to Churn” Ice Cream Kit, this recipe is what autumn dreams are made of.


What You’ll Need

  • Bishop’s Orchards Apple Cider
  • Oakridge Dairy “Your Turn to Churn” Ice Cream Kit (pre-made and ready to scoop)
  • Oakridge Dairy Heavy Cream
  • Optional: Caramel drizzle, cinnamon, and a cinnamon stick for garnish

Psst… no ice cream machine? No problem. You can freeze the mix in ice cube trays and blend it smooth when you’re ready to churn.


How to Make It

1. Start with a little flair

Drizzle caramel sauce around the inside of your glass. It’s optional, but it gives that extra “wow” factor and a touch of sticky-sweet goodness in every sip.

2. Add your scoops

Scoop three generous scoops of your Oakridge ice cream into the glass. You’ve already done the hard part, whether you used an ice cream maker or the ice cube tray hack, your homemade ice cream is ready to shine.

3. Pour on the cider

Slowly top your glass with Bishop’s Orchards Apple Cider. The bubbles, the scent, the little swirl as it hits the ice cream, pure fall magic.

4. Whip up your cream

In a small bowl, whisk your Oakridge Heavy Cream until it thickens just enough to hold a soft peak. Spoon it over your float like a cloud of creamy perfection.

5. Finish with a flourish

Dust with cinnamon, drizzle with a touch more caramel, and if you’re feeling fancy, pop in a cinnamon stick for the full fall aesthetic.


Sip, swirl, and enjoy

You’ve just made your own Apple Cider Float. A creamy, cozy, fall-inspired treat that’s part dessert, part drink, and 100% delicious.

So next time your milkman delivers, grab your cider, cream and ice cream kit, and give this recipe a whirl. Your porch, your glass, and your tastebuds will thank you.
