Apple & Ginger Mocktail
In true mocktail form, it acts a little like a Moscow Mule, but the absence of alcohol makes it a festive drink that everyone can enjoy. The crisp apple juice and ginger beer strike the perfect balance together — sweet, but not too sweet, with a friendly little bite. The absence of spice, which usually accompanies apples this time of year, gives this drink a bright twist that’s accentuated by refreshing lime and a cooling garnish of mint.
