2-Ingredient Apple Cider Cocktail

Author: Jessica Haggard
Two ingredients make an apple cider cocktail, which means the cider and the sparkling wine both have to be decent. Sweet, spiced, and poured in about five minutes.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 6 ounces apple cider
  • 6 ounces brut champagne

Instructions
 

  • Optional, but you can rim the glasses with cinnamon sugar for a festive twist. To do this, follow the note from the expert tips section below.
  • Fill each champagne flute with 3 ounces of champagne. Let the bubbles settle.
  • Gently pour 3 ounces of apple cider into each glass.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use cold ingredients and serve in a chilled flute.
  • You’re blending everything, so choose a good-quality but reasonably priced Brut and save the high-end champagne for sipping neat.
  • Stir gently instead of shaking to keep the champagne’s bubbles intact.
  • Add a splash of spiced rum or bourbon or a dash of ginger liqueur for something stronger and more fall flavored.
  • Fresh pomegranate seeds or cranberries can float beautifully in the glass for a festive pop of color.
Serve: Offer at brunch, before dinner or after dessert. Pair with fall-inspired appetizers or a cheese and charcuterie board. For something sweet, offer hand pies or cinnamon rolls.
