This Sparkling Apple Cider Cocktail is mixed with cinnamon and apple whiskey, then topped off with sparkling water. A delicious fall beverage for happy hour!
Fall means apple season (and pumpkin too!) and it is time to bring out the apple cider. This sparkling apple cider cocktail is served cold for a nice refreshing happy hour when the early fall days are still warm.
What makes this drink special is a blend of two different flavors of whiskey. Cinnamon whiskey spices things up a notch, while apple whiskey adds just a little bit more sweetness.
This cocktail is so simple to make, you will enjoy it all fall (and winter too) again and again. Grab some cider and lets make it!
Ingredients for Sparkling Apple Cider Cocktail:
Only 4 ingredients needed!
Apple Cider
Any brand of unsweetened apple cider will work here. Location in stores varies but is often found by the apples in the fall months.
Cinnamon Flavored Whiskey
There are several brands that have a cinnamon flavored whiskey. I most often have Fireball at home.
Apple Flavored Whiskey
Again, there are several brands available that carry an apple flavored whiskey. I used Jim Beam in this recipe.
Sparkling Water
I love using Topo Chico in cocktails. Other brands work just fine.
Garnishes
Garnish your fresh apple cider cocktail with thinly sliced apple and a cinnamon stick.
