Apple Cider Thanksgiving Mocktail Pitcher
The same as the drink above just enough to make a large pitcher!
Ingredients
Apple Cider Drink
- ½ gallon apple cider
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups vanilla seltzer
- 4 apples, thinly sliced use any apple you like to eat
Extras
- 1 ¼ cup maple syrup for optional cinnamon rim
- ¼ cup ground cinnamon for optional cinnamon rim
- Cinnamon sticks for optional garnish
- Star anise for optional garnish
Instructions
- If you decide to line the rims of the glasses with cinnamon, first dip the rim of your glass in maple syrup. Then, roll it around in the cinnamon. Leave them stored upside down until ready to serve.
- In a large pitcher combine the apple cider with the ground ginger and vanilla. Mix and taste to adjust to your flavor preference. I would also add in 1 cinnamon stick, and 1-2 star anise to intensify the flavor. You can store this in the fridge for up to 2 days in advance.
- When ready to serve: add some ice into your cups. Along with a few apple slices.
- Pour in the drink. You can either use all of it or fill up as much of the glass with as you like. Then, top with all of the seltzer or as much of it as you like.
- Garnish with a few more apple slices, a cinnamon stick, and star anise if desired. Enjoy.
