Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz apple cider per glass
- 4 oz Prosecco or champagne per glass
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup per glass (optional)
- Apple slices or cinnamon sticks for garnish (optional)
- Lemon or orange wedge for rimming the glass
Instructions
- In a small shallow dish, combine 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Mix with a fork until evenly combined.
- Run a lemon or orange wedge around the rim of a champagne flute to moisten it.
- Hold the glass upside down and dip the moistened rim into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, twisting slightly for even coverage. Tap off excess and set upright.
- Pour 4 ounces of apple cider into the prepared glass, pouring slowly to avoid disturbing the rim.
- Slowly pour 4 ounces of chilled Prosecco or champagne into the glass, pouring at an angle to preserve bubbles.
- If desired, drizzle in 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup and stir gently.
- Garnish with a thin apple slice or cinnamon stick. Serve immediately.
Notes
Chill Prosecco and apple cider for at least 2 hours before making. Rim glasses just before serving to prevent the cinnamon sugar from dissolving. For a mocktail, replace Prosecco with non-alcoholic sparkling cider or ginger ale.
