If you want a non-alcoholic version, you can use sparkling water or ginger ale instead of champagne.
Adjust sweetness: If you find the drink too sweet, try adding a splash of lemon juice or using a drier type of champagne.
Store any leftover cider in the fridge and use it within a week.
Feel free to get creative: Add other fruit slices like orange or pear for a different twist.
Remember, this recipe is flexible, so make it your own and enjoy! 🥂
