Ingredients
Scale
- Sparkling apple cider (or 1 part apple juice + 1 part club soda)
- Prosecco or champagne (dry)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Lemon or apple wedge (for rim)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- In a small shallow dish, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Whisk until evenly mixed.
- Run a lemon or apple wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten it lightly.
- Turn the glass upside down and dip the moistened rim into the cinnamon sugar mixture, twisting gently for even coverage. Tap off excess.
- Add 2-3 ice cubes to each glass if desired.
- Fill each glass halfway with sparkling apple cider.
- Slowly top with prosecco or champagne, filling to about an inch from the rim. Pour down the side of the glass to reduce foam.
- Garnish with a thin apple slice or cinnamon stick if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Use a light touch with the lemon juice on the rim to prevent the sugar from sliding off. Serve immediately for best results. For a non-alcoholic version, skip the prosecco and use extra sparkling cider or non-alcoholic sparkling wine.
