Spiked Sparkling Cider, Mood Lighting Optional!
Thanks to my lovely roommate and her friends, I’ve been inducted into a cocktail club. Each month, a group of ladies get together at someone’s home to try a unique drink paired with a delicious nibble. The best part? The host takes care of the food/drink, allowing the guests to relax. How often are you a guest at someone’s home and are told to bring nothing, except for your delightful self?
A recent cocktail club introduced me to a delicious new drink that’s a play on sparkling cider. Ripped from the pages of Real Simple Magazine, this drink pairs my love of prosecco with two very unexpected ingredients – apple juice and goldschlager. Sure, you could purchase store-bought cider and add alcohol to it, but this drink feels and tastes slightly more sophisticated. From the fizzy prosecco, to the not too sweet combination of apple juice and goldschlager, this cinnamon scented cider has become a go-to winter cocktail in my apartment.
For a cocktail club or dinner party occasion, serve with roasted pork tenderloin, green beans and a mushroom risotto.
