Servings

Crisp as an orchard breeze and warm as a knit scarf, this fizz brings the sparkle of harvest season without a drop of alcohol. Think golden apples meeting zesty ginger—the kind of sip that feels like clinking glasses under twinkle lights while leaves tumble outside.

Cloudy apple juice gives body and orchard character, while fresh ginger lends that playful, nose-tingling heat. A dash of lemon brightens the sweetness, and icy bubbles keep it lively to the last sip. Keep everything well-chilled, stir gently, and you’ll protect those tiny celebratory bubbles.

Across cool-weather traditions, ginger is prized for its warming lift—British ginger beer once bubbled through winter markets, and spiced apple “wassail” warmed festive gatherings. This easy mocktail nods to both, distilling their cozy spirit into a bright, modern glass.

Ingredients

Orchard-fresh and zesty, this mocktail uses a quick ginger syrup for clean, consistent heat and just-right sweetness.

100 g caster sugar

Instructions

A quick syrup sets the foundation; then it’s a simple, bubbly build in a chilled pitcher.

1
Make the ginger syrup: In a small saucepan combine 200 ml water, 100 g sugar, and 60 g sliced ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and steep 10 minutes. Strain and chill until cold.
2
Build the drink: In a 1.5 L chilled pitcher, combine 400 ml apple juice, 30 ml lemon juice, and 120 ml cold ginger syrup. Add 0.5 g sea salt if using and 200 g ice.
3
Finish with fizz: Pour in 600 ml sparkling water and stir gently just once or twice to preserve bubbles. Taste; add more ginger syrup in 10 ml increments if you like it sweeter or spicier.
4
Serve: Fill 4 highball glasses with ice. Divide the drink, garnish with apple slices and mint, and enjoy immediately.

Chef's Tip

Use cloudy apple juice for fuller body and freeze apple slices for extra-chilly, slow-melting garnish.

Fun Fact

Ginger beer originated in 18th‑century England; while early versions were lightly fermented, many modern styles are alcohol-free—often paired with apple in winter wassail traditions.
