Cozy cocktail season is officially here! Meet our Apple Cider Cocktail, perfect for hosting family or friends or to bring to a holiday potluck. The sweetness of the homemade apple cider syrup is delicately balanced by the slightly spicy flavors of star anise and cinnamon, where the flavor profile then brightens thanks to a bit of orange zest. We hope you enjoy our modern take on this classic… cheers! xx
