Ingredients

• Ginger ale – for that sparkling effect.
• Optional – Sugar and ground cinnamon for glass rim.

How to Make Sparkling Apple Cider Mocktail

1. Prepare the Glass: Moisten the rim of your glass with a bit of apple cider or water. Then, gently dip the rim into a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, coating it evenly. This creates a decorative and flavorful rim that enhances the mocktail’s appeal.
2. Combine Ingredients: Fill the glass with ice. Pour apple cider until the glass is about three-quarters full, then top off with ginger ale for that sparkling effect.
3. Stir Gently: Lightly stir the mixture to combine the apple cider and ginger ale, being careful not to disturb the beautifully rimmed edge.

Tips & Tricks

Chill Your Ingredients: Ensure both the apple cider and ginger ale are chilled before use. This keeps your mocktail refreshingly cold without relying too heavily on ice, which can dilute the flavors.

Adjust the Fizz: The ratio of ginger ale to apple cider can be adjusted according to how fizzy you like your mocktail. More ginger ale will result in a fizzier drink, while less will give the apple cider more prominence.
