It’s apple harvest season, which means you’ll be seeing apple cider on the shelf of your local grocery stores. You may even find it at your local farmer’s market.

If you’re looking for a way to spice up your cider, this apple pie cocktail can’t be easier. I’m telling you, this drink is dangerous! It tastes so good, you forget it’s a cocktail. You’ve been warned.

Apple Cider Substitutes

If you don’t have apple cider available to you, you can substitute with regular apple juice instead. Did you know that both apple cider and apple juice are simply made with apples?

The only difference is that apple juice is filtered and goes through more processing. This leaves you with a cleaner, more crisp taste.

To me, apple cider is like a ‘homestyle’ version of apple juice.

How to Sugar Rim Your Apple Pie Cocktail

One detail I wouldn’t skip – the sugar rim. I used turbinado sugar, which matches the lovely golden color of the cider.

To rim a glass, you’ll want to wet the rim with something sticky. For this cocktail, you could use a lemon wedge, apple wedge, simple syrup, honey, or even a bit of apple cider.

In a pinch, water will work okay. The sugar rim gives your drink a finished look that is sure to impress.
