Ingredients
- Apple Cider: Make sure you use apple cider and not apple juice. Apple Cider is unfiltered, and often unpasteurized. It's also considered a seasonal drink and can be hard to find outside of the autumn months.
- Fresh Lime: Fresh lime juice is a must to keep your drink from getting too sour.
- Cinnamon Simple Syrup: So easy to make at home check out my full blog post for how to make Cinnamon Simple Syrup.
- Ginger Beer: I like to use Fever Tree Brand Ginger Beer (affiliate link), it has just the right balance that not every brand has.
- Ground Cinnamon: For a light sprinkle overtop the mocktail.
- Apple Slices: For garnishing these can be either fresh apples or dried!
Instructions
Add ice to a cocktail shaker along with the apple cider, lime juice, and cinnamon simple syrup.
Shake vigorously until very cold.
Pour into an ice filled glass. Top with the ginger beer and give a quick stir. Garnish with a dash of ground cinnamon and an apple slice.
Tips, Tricks and Questions
Can I make it alcoholic by adding a spirit?
Absolutely! If you prefer an alcoholic version, a shot of bourbon or vodka complements the flavors perfectly.
How do I adjust the sweetness to my taste?
You can easily tailor the sweetness by adding more or less of the cinnamon simple syrup. Start with the suggested amount and adjust to your liking.
Can I prepare this in advance for a party?
While the mocktail is best when freshly prepared, you can pre-mix the cider, lime juice, and cinnamon simple syrup in advance and keep it in the refrigerator. When serving, shake with ice and add the ginger beer for that fresh fizz.
