Berry Infused Apple Cider Cocktail

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
Cider is refreshing on its own, but this version transforms it into a Sangria-style cocktail. The berries not only color the drink but their skins slowly release flavors, making the experience more complex as the ice melts.

Instructions

1 ✓

Quarter the strawberries; leave raspberries and blueberries whole. Toss them into the bottom of the pitcher.

Tip: If you have time, muddle them slightly to release juices faster. (Maceration)
2 ✓

Pour the honey, lemon juice, and orange juice over the fruit and stir well.

Tip: Honey dissolves easier in the acidic juices than in cold carbonated cider.
3 ✓

Fill the pitcher to the rim with ice cubes.

Tip: More ice melts slower, keeping the drink cold longer without watering it down quickly.
4 ✓

Gently and slowly pour in the cold hard cider to prevent excessive foaming.

Tip: Cold ingredients help preserve the carbonation.
5 ✓

Garnish with mint sprigs. Before serving, clap the mint between your palms to release the essential oils.

Tip: The scent of mint enhances the feeling of freshness via retronasal olfaction.

Recipe FAQ

Which cider should I choose?
Look for a dry or semi-dry hard cider, as the fruit and honey will add plenty of sweetness.
Can I make it alcohol-free?
Of course, use unfiltered apple juice and a splash of sparkling water for the bubbles.
