Ingredients

  • 3 oz cloudy apple juice
  • 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 oz cinnamon syrup
  • 2 oz soda water
  • Freshly grated nutmeg and an apple slice, to garnish

Method

  1. 1Add the apple juice, lemon juice and cinnamon syrup to a wine glass filled with ice.
  2. 2Stir to combine.
  3. 3Top with soda water.
  4. 4Grate nutmeg over the surface and add an apple slice.

Notes

  • Cloudy apple juice has far more flavour than clear — it's worth seeking out.
  • Make cinnamon syrup by steeping three broken sticks in simple syrup for an hour. It keeps for weeks and improves every autumn drink you make.
  • Scales easily: multiply by the number of guests, mix everything except the soda ahead, and top each glass as you pour.

Make one of these next

  • Apple Cider Mule

    A mule with cider in place of the vodka. Autumn's best drink and it takes three minutes.

  • Pomegranate Ginger Fizz

    Deep colour, real bite. The most grown-up-looking drink on this list and one of the quickest.

  • Arnold Palmer

    Half iced tea, half lemonade. Two ingredients, and the ratio most people get wrong.
