Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Sparkling Apple Cider For sweetness and fizziness.
  • 1 cup Apple Juice Use good-quality juice.
For the Citrus Blend
  • 2 tablespoons Ginger Simple Syrup Can use pre-made syrup.
  • 1/2 cup Orange Juice Freshly squeezed for best flavor.

For Garnishing
  • 1 strip Orange Peel For garnish.
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar For rimming the glass.

Equipment

  • cocktail shaker
  • Vegetable Peeler
  • glass

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by rimming your glass with fresh lemon or orange juice to dampen the edge. Dip the rim into raw sugar, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  2. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully create a long strip of orange peel.
  3. In a cocktail shaker, combine ginger simple syrup, freshly squeezed orange juice, and lemon juice. Shake vigorously with ice for about 15-20 seconds.
  4. Remove the ice from your prepared glass and strain the citrus mixture into it, filling it two-thirds full. Top off with sparkling apple cider.
  5. Gently squeeze the orange peel over the drink to release essential oils, adding aroma. Place the peel on the rim or float it on top.
