Today’s share is a fantastic, super easy cocktail to celebrate fall and the holidays – Apple Cider Cocktail Spritzer!

Easy Apple Cider Cocktail Spritzer – The Crisp Taste of Fall in a Glass

This super easy to make cocktail celebrates the taste of fall with crisp notes of apple, that’s light and bubbly, autumn perfection. The perfect cocktail for parties and Thanksgiving. Only two ingredients to make this holiday favorite – Prosecco or an inexpressive bottle of champagne and apple cider. For a delicious non-alcoholic version, you can use club soda.  

My best friend made this fun drink on Thanksgiving a few years ago, it’s been a favorite ever since. I love that it’s a cinch to make and absolutely delicious. We’d rather sit around visiting than spending time making complicated, time consuming cocktails.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE APPLE CIDER COCKTAIL SPRITZERS

A bottle of Prosecco (or champagne) and apple cider – that’s it!

HOW TO MAKE APPLE CIDER COCKTAIL SPRITZERS

This cocktail can be made super simple – filling a champagne glass with half Prosecco/champagne and half apple cider. You can also use a tumbler or wine glass, fill it with ice, then add half Prosecco/Champagne and half apple cider.

If you want to make it more fancy, you can do a cinnamon sugar rim for the glasses and add a few slices of thinly sliced apples – it makes a super fun and pretty presentation.

WHAT IS PROSECCO?

“Prosecco is a sparkling wine made in the Veneto region of Italy around the city of Treviso about 15 miles North of Venice.”  – Wine Folly

Learn more about Prosecco and the difference between Champagne vs Prosecco.

I guess, technically, if you use champagne for this drink, you would call it Apple Cider Mimosa 🙂 

HOW TO MAKE A NON-ALCOHOLIC APPLE CIDER SPRITZER

Fill glass with ice and add half club soda and half apple cider.

For a pretty presentation, you can do a cinnamon sugar rim and add a few slices of apple and a fun straw.
