Equipment
- 1 cocktail shaker
- 2 High Ball Glasses
Ingredients
- 4 ounces apple cider
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1 tablespoon hot honey
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 bottle ginger beer regular or diet
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker add the cider, lime juice, hot honey, and cinnamon. Place the shaker lid on tight. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds to combine the ingredients until the honey dissolves into the other liquids. Note: this is done first without ice so the liquid isn't too cold which keeps the honey from combining and makes sure it doesn't firm up vs dissolve.4 ounces apple cider, 1 ounce lime juice, 1 tablespoon hot honey, ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- Open the lid and add a few ice cubes to the shaker. Shake again for a few seconds to get the drink nice and cold this time.
- Fill two glasses ⅓ of the way with crushed or cubed ice.
- Take the small top off the shaker and pour the cider liquid through the strainer so each glass has equal amounts.
- Top off each mocktail with ginger beer. Stir gently to combine.1 bottle ginger beer
- Add a straw if desired. OPTIONAL garnish such as a slice of fresh apple, lime wedge, or cinnamon stick.
Notes
SUBSTITUTIONS:
- Use ginger ale for a milder ginger flavor or a more kid-friendly version.
- Do not substitute with apple juice, the color, flavor & intense apple flavor will not give the same pretty Fall aesthetic vibes.
