Ingredients
Apple Cider: Don't substitute apple juice! Apple cider has so much more flavor than apple juice. And if you want a boozy apple cider drink, make my Bourbon Apple Cider Cocktail!
Ginger Beer: I love Fever Tree Ginger Beer, but use whatever your favorite is.
Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger adds a spicy kick to this Apple Cider Mocktail! Do not substitute dried ginger.
Lemon Juice: Lemon juice helps to cut the sweetness.
Instructions
Step 1. First, in the bottom of a copper mug, or other tall glass, combine ginger slices and lemon juice. Use a wooden spoon or a muddler to gently break the ginger up. Be very careful if you are using a glass!
Step 2. Next, add ginger beer, apple cider and club soda. Gently stir, then fill the mug or glass with ice.
Garnish with apple slices, cinnamon sticks or lemon slices, then serve your Apple Cider Mocktail!
Recipe FAQs
No! Apple cider is pressed and unfiltered, which is why it has a darker and cloudier appearance than apple juice. This also allows apple cider to have more flavor.
Apple juice is pressed and filtered, which is why it is clearer and lighter in color.
Warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, clove, and allspice pair well with apple cider!
Expert Recipe Tips
I love crushed ice for this mocktail recipe. I don't have an ice maker, so I put some large ice cubes in a cloth bag and carefully crushed them with a mallet.
Be very careful if you are muddling the ginger in a glass!
