Ingredients
4 oz unfiltered apple cider
4 oz ginger beer or sparkling water
1 tsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon sugar (for rim)
1 cinnamon stick (garnish)
2–3 thin apple slices (garnish)
Fresh rosemary sprig (optional garnish)
Ice cubes
Instructions
Step 1: Rim a highball glass by dipping the edge in maple syrup or water, then pressing it into a small plate of cinnamon sugar.
Step 2: Fill the glass to the top with large ice cubes to ensure the easy apple mocktail stays cold without diluting quickly.
Step 3: Pour the unfiltered apple cider and fresh lime juice over the ice.
Step 4: Top the mixture with chilled ginger beer or sparkling water, pouring slowly to preserve the bubbles.
Step 5: Stir very gently once with a bar spoon to combine the layers of the easy apple mocktail.
Step 6: Garnish with a cinnamon stick, apple slices, and a sprig of rosemary for aroma and visual appeal.
Notes
For a less sweet version, use sparkling mineral water instead of ginger beer.
