A balanced alcohol-free drink built around real citrus and fruit flavor.
Easy-to-find ingredients and an approachable home-bar method.
Made for an everyday treat, dinner party, or celebratory pour.
Makes 4 servings. Ingredient quantities update with the selected batch size.
For the Apple-Cider Maple Mule: In a cocktail shaker, combine 4 oz apple cider, 1/2 oz maple syrup, and 1/2 oz lime juice with ice. Shake for 10 seconds and strain into a 4-ounce glass. Top with 2 oz ginger beer.
For the Pear Ginger Fizz: Stir together 2 oz pear nectar, 1/2 oz ginger simple syrup, and 1/2 oz lemon juice in a small glass. Add ice and top with 1 oz sparkling water.
For the Cranberry Sage Cider: Muddle 2 fresh sage leaves with 1/2 oz honey syrup in a shaker. Add 3 oz cranberry juice and ice. Shake well and strain into a glass. Top with 1 oz sparkling apple cider.
For the Pumpkin Chai: In a small bowl or shaker, whisk 1 tbsp pumpkin puree into 3 oz chilled chai tea concentrate until smooth. Pour into a glass over ice and top with 1 oz heavy cream. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice.
Arrange the four glasses on a wooden serving board or platter in the order described.
Garnish the mule with a cinnamon stick, the fizz with a pear slice, the cider with a fresh sage leaf, and the chai with a star anise or extra spice.
For a crowd: Prepare the base mixtures for each drink in larger carafes up to 4 hours in advance. Pour the bases into glasses just before guests arrive and top with the carbonated elements and cream to maintain freshness.
Easy swaps: Replace maple syrup with agave nectar for a more neutral sweetness. Use fresh rosemary instead of sage in the cranberry pour for a different herbal aroma. Swap heavy cream for coconut milk in the pumpkin chai for a dairy-free version.
You can prep the individual juices and syrups up to 4 hours in advance, but the final assembly and carbonated toppers should be added just before serving.
Small 4-ounce juice glasses, tasting flutes, or mini mason jars are ideal for maintaining the tasting portions.
Mix equal parts honey and warm water, stirring until fully dissolved, then chill completely before using in the recipe.
