Ingredients

2 Cups fresh apple cider
1/2 Cup sparkling water
2 Tablespoons honey
1 Apple, thinly sliced
1 Cinnamon stick
1 Fresh rosemary sprig for garnish
Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1
Chill Your Glasses: Begin by placing your glasses in the freezer to chill. This will keep your mocktail refreshingly cool.
Step 2
Prepare the Honey Syrup: In a small saucepan, warm the honey and 1/4 cup of apple cider over low heat. Stir until the honey dissolves completely. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Assemble the Mocktail: In a pitcher, combine the remaining apple cider, sparkling water, and the honey syrup. Give it a gentle stir to combine all the elements.
Step 4
Add Ice and Sliced Fruit: Take your chilled glasses from the freezer and ice cubes. Drop a few slices of apple and a cinnamon stick into each glass.
Step 5
Pour and Garnish: Carefully pour the apple cider mocktail into each glass. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish your mocktails with a sprig of fresh rosemary. This not only adds a delightful fragrance but also enhances the visual appeal.
Step 6
Serve and Enjoy: Serve your apple cider mocktails immediately, and enjoy the blend of sweet apple cider, fizz from the sparkling water, and the warmth of honey and cinnamon.
