Apple Ginger Mocktail Recipe

Apple Ginger Mocktail, I’m FALLing for you! Fall is in full swing and I couldn’t think of a better way to mark the occasion than by sipping on an autumn-inspired mocktail. Quench your thirst with this delicious and comforting non-alcoholic beverage.

My Apple Ginger Mocktail recipe starts off with a fresh, crisp, sweet yet tart apple cider. Not to be confused with apple juice, apple cider is a raw, unfiltered and unsweetened drink made using a variety of apples. Apple cider adds complexity and a dominant apple flavour to this mocktail. Ginger beer and a splash of orange juice are added to the mix, imparting some citrus-flavour, effervescence and a hint of spiciness. To reinforce the Fall flavour, add a pinch of apple pie spice and garnish it with an apple slice, cinnamon stick and star anise. 

This mocktail couldn’t be easier to make, uses a handful of simple ingredients and comes together in under 5 minutes. Enjoy it on your own or double the recipe and sip it alongside good company. So, let me show you how it’s done. Grab a spoon and come and cook with me!

Notes:

1. Apple Pie Spice: I love adding a pinch of apple pie spice to this mocktail, as it gives the drink a Fall and festive flair. I use Club House Apple Pie Spice blend, which is comprised of a combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and a hint of cloves and cardamom. These flavours perfectly compliment the aromatic apple cider, spicy ginger beer and fragrant orange juice.
