Ritual Mocktail
Ritual's non-alcoholic apple cider drink is a seasonal favorite. This apple cider spiced rum mocktail can be made hot or cold. Ritual's Rum Alternative should be used to make this drink because the flavors of the star anise and toasted cinnamon compliment the apple cider perfectly. You won't even miss the booze.
Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider
- 3 ounces Ritual Rum Alternative
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
