Apple Pie Spritzer Ingredients you need:
- Apple Cider: I use the Martinelli’s brand, which is essentially juice, just make sure to use any 100% apple juice.
- Ginger Beer: My favorite brand of ginger beer is Gosling as it has the ideal balance of sweetness and spiciness.
- Star Anise: Theres only a hint of the sweet-licorice-peppery flavor of this spice in this drink but it pairs so well with the Apple and ginger.
- Cinnamon Sugar: Mix together cinnamon and sugar for the most holiday flavors to rim your glasses with. It’s like an Apple pie in a glass!
- Lemon: A squeeze of fresh lemon brightens everything up and balances out the sweetness of the drink.
