  • If you don't have a shaker: If you don't have a shaker or don't feel like pulling it out and creating another dish to wash, just pour the apple cider, ginger beer, and squeeze of lemon juice in a glass over ice and stir. Then top with cinnamon. Garnish with an apple slice and cinnamon sticks.

Notes

Nutrition facts are estimated. Sugar is natural sugar from the apple in the cider.
Expert Tips
  • If possible, use freshly squeezed lemon instead of bottled lemon juice.
  • Try to find a local apple cider and if you want real apple cider, avoid anything labeled "apple juice".
  • Use a zero calorie ginger beer to cut back on added sugars and calories.
Dietitian Tip
If you're looking to cut back on alcohol, mocktails are a great option! I like to pour one while I cook dinner and using a fun glass makes it a little more special.
