Adjust Sweetness: If you like it sweeter, add a little more maple syrup. For less sweetness, use less syrup.

Garnish Options: Apart from apple slices, try adding orange zest. It can give a citrusy twist!

Non-Alcoholic Spirit: If you want a bit more complexity, try adding a splash of non-alcoholic spirit.
