This apple ginger ale spritzer mocktail is my all-time favorite for every situation as It combines aromas of ginger ale, apples and cinnamon and it’s so easy to make.
I always serve this drink at my family gatherings because you can serve to kids and adults during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter celebrations. It’s fresh, bitter and sweet at the same time — the perfect balance of fall flavours.
Even though this apple and ginger ale spritzer is non-alcoholic, you could certainly booze it up, too! Try adding some Aperol, Dry Gin, Whisky or Vodka, prosecco or white wine for example.
