Mixed Berry Cider Smash

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals Drinks
Classic apple cider is a great base, but when it meets forest berries, a flavor bomb is born. The tannins and acidity of red berries add depth, while their look—floating in the glass—immediately evokes summer picnics. A simple way to turn an ordinary drink into something festive.

Instructions

1 ✓

Hull the strawberries and quarter them. Place a few berries and blackberries at the bottom of the glass.

Tip: Chopping fruit increases surface area, allowing more flavor to dissolve.
2 ✓

Gently press the fruit at the bottom with a muddler, just enough to release some juice.

Tip: Don't puree it, just break the flesh so the cider can take on the color and flavor (extraction).
3 ✓

Fill the glass with ice and scatter the remaining whole fruit (and blueberries) on top.

Tip: Layering makes the drink visually stunning.
4 ✓

Pour over the cider, garnish with mint sprigs, and serve.

Tip: Let it sit for 1-2 minutes before drinking so the cider picks up the berry color.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use frozen fruit?
Yes, absolutely! Frozen fruit acts as 'ice cubes' and releases juice and color continuously as it thaws.
