Notes
- Add the sparkling cider and ginger ale right before serving for the best results. Otherwise the drink could go flat if you add the sparkling liquids at the beginning.
- You can use any type of apple you like. Some of my favorite options include Pink Lady, Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
- Sometimes I use two smaller clementines rather than a full sized orange for a different flavor and presentation.
