Can I use apple juice?

You can use apple juice if you really can't find apple cider but I highly recommend using apple cider for the best flavor. Apple juice just isn't the same.

What's the difference between apple cider and apple juice?

Apple cider is just unfiltered, unpasteurized apple juice. It has a richer, stronger flavor than apple juice and it's darker in color and opaque.

Where can I buy good cinnamon syrup?

I like Monin's Cinnamon Syrup but Torani is also a popular choice.

Instructions

Add apple cider, lemon juice, and cinnamon simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
Add a handful of ice and shake vigorously for a few seconds until chilled.
Fill a short glass with ice and strain the mocktail over the ice.
Top up the drink with sparkling water.
Garnish the drink with apple slices, a lemon slice, and a cinnamon stick if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing and making ahead tips: This drink is best enjoyed right away once it’s mixed with ice. You can juice your lemons ahead of time if you’re making more servings. It can also be made in a pitcher ahead of time without the sparkling water. Divide the drink between your glass and top with sparkling water.

Pitcher: To make a pitcher for 10 people, mix together 20 oz apple cider, 10 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice, 10 oz cinnamon simple syrup, ice and 2 1/2-5 cups sparkling water. Mix together the apple cider, lemon juice, and cinnamon syrup in a pitcher. Divide between 10 glasses, add ice, and top up with sparkling water.
