The British are the grandmasters of cider, often favoring a distinct dryness. This recipe doesn't mask that tart profile but complements it with the acidity of citrus and the cooling sensation of mint. It's as elegant as afternoon tea, but infinitely more refreshing.

Instructions

1 ✓

Add the honey and lemon juice to the bottom of the glasses. Stir in a splash of cider until the honey dissolves.

Tip: Honey hardens in cold alcohol, so it's crucial to dissolve it in the acidic lemon juice or a little warm water first.
2 ✓

Slice the apple into thin wedges or rounds. Add them to the glass along with the ice.

Tip: Tart green apples (high malic acid) pair better with dry cider than sweet red varieties.
3 ✓

Top up with the remaining cider, drop in the mint leaves, and stir gently.

Tip: Don't crush the mint too much, or you'll release bitter compounds from the stems. Just use the fragrant leaves.

Recipe FAQ

It's too sour.
Dry cider is naturally low in sugar. If it's too tart, use a 'semi-dry' cider or add a bit more honey.
