A refreshing cocktail combining apple cider, ginger beer, and mint.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 2 oz apple cider (unfiltered)
- 2 oz ginger beer

Instructions
- Prepare the rim by mixing the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flaky sea salt on a small plate. Run a lemon wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip the rim into the sugar mixture to coat.
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle the lemon zest and mint leaves to release the citrus oils and mint flavor.

- Top with ginger beer and gently stir to combine. If desired, garnish with apple and lemon slices, a cinnamon stick, and more mint. Serve immediately.
Notes
