Author: Jessica Haggard
A ginger beer mocktail runs entirely on the spice of good ginger beer, with citrus, apple, and cinnamon behind it. Five minutes, no alcohol, and enough bite that nobody feels short-changed.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 8 ounces apple cider
  • 4 ounces orange juice
  • 1 ounces lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
  • 4 sticks cinnamon divided
  • 1 cup ginger beer
  • 2 portions ice cube
  • 1 small apple sliced for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.
  • Mix the base in a shaker or small pitcher by stirring together the apple cider, orange juice, lime juice and sweetener. Add 2 cinnamon sticks.
  • Top with ginger beer.
  • Divide into the prepared glasses and serve immediately with apple and lime slices and a cinnamon stick as garnish.

Notes

  • Use high-quality ginger beer, one with bold spice and minimal added sugar for the best results.
  • If your honey is too thick or crystalized, warm it before mixing so it’ll blend seamlessly into the mix.
  • Serve mocktails in a chilled glass to make the ice last longer. You can also try flavored ice cubes (frozen apple cider or orange juice) to avoid watering it down.
  • Hosting a gathering? Thin orange twists or sugared cranberries on a cocktail skewer make this mocktail feel party-perfect.
  • Mix everything except the ginger beer ahead of time and refrigerate. Top with ginger beer and ice before serving.
Serve: Serve alongside a fall-inspired charcuterie board, enjoy with roasted turkey, baked ham, or a seasonal salad, or pair with fall treats like apple pie, pumpkin dump cake, or cinnamon rolls.
Store: Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Do not freeze.
