Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker: This helps mix the flavors well.
  • Muddler or Spoon: For crushing cinnamon and releasing flavors.
  • Measuring Cups: These keep ingredients balanced.
  • Strainer: It’s needed for smooth pouring.
  • Glass: I like using a tall glass to show off the layers.
  • Ice Cubes: These keep the drink chilled and refreshing.

Ingredients

Time to gather our ingredients for this tasty mocktail! Here’s what I love using:

  • 1 cup apple cider: Provides a sweet and tart base.
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup: Adds a rich sweet flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Boosts cozy warm vibes.
  • Juice from 1/2 a lemon: This brightens up the flavors.
  • Ice Cubes: Keeps everything chilled.
  • Cinnamon stick and apple slice optional: Great for decoration!

I love how these ingredients come together to create such a delightful drink.

Instructions

Let’s dive into making this yummy drink step by step!

  • Muddle Sweetness: Put cinnamon and maple syrup in the shaker. Use the muddler or spoon to mix them well. This releases the cinnamon flavor.
  • Add Liquid: Pour apple cider and lemon juice into the shaker. Then drop in some ice cubes. 🍋
  • Shake It Up: Give it a good shake for about 15-20 seconds. This ensures all the flavors mix nicely.
  • Pour and Serve: Strain the mix into a tall glass filled with ice. Adding a cinnamon stick and apple slice on top makes it look great!

Enjoy and Share: Sip slowly and savor every bit. Snap a pic to share with friends if you’d like! 📸

    Notes

    Here are a few tips to make your mocktail experience even better:
    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.
