Honey Crisp Apple Cider Spritzer

It’s my most favorite time of year! There is nothing like crisp fall air, sweaters and scarves, and yellow and orange trees that make you want to sit outside and enjoy a cocktail with your loved one. This weekend I was in the mood to make a yummy fall cocktail that I could sip outside and enjoy the sunny 70 degree weather. When I started looking for recipes, I found that most of them seemed like a lot of work. And I don’t know about you, but when I’m in the mood to sit outside and soak up the outdoors, I don’t generally want to slave away in the kitchen. Also, if I’m going to have a drink in the afternoon, I typically want something lighter so that I don’t fall asleep mid day… So, I created this little concoction! Super easy but very festive. I will definitely be making this drink next time we have some friends over. Most importantly, it’s delicious!

RECIPE

Half a champagne coupe or flute of honey crisp apple cider
