Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups apple cider Preferably fresh-pressed or spiced.
  • 0.5 tablespoons fresh lime juice Adds acidity.
  • 0.5 cups ginger beer Fever-Tree or Q Mixers recommended.
  • 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup Optional, for sweetness.

Optional Garnishes

  • thin apple slices

  • star anise or whole clove
  • lime wedge For extra brightness.

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Fill a copper mug or lowball glass with ice. Pour in the apple cider, fresh lime juice, and maple syrup (if using). Give it a gentle stir to combine.
  • Top with chilled ginger beer. Stir gently again, just enough to mix — you want to keep the bubbles intact.
  • Add a thin apple slice to the rim, tuck in a cinnamon stick, and, if you’re feeling festive, float a star anise on top.

Notes

This drink pairs well with festive gatherings and is a great fall beverage option.
