This delicious twist on a spritz is perfect when you’re ready for fall, but the weather’s still warm enough that you want something light and refreshing. Apple brandy steps in for Aperol here, while natural apple cider adds to the autumn vibes and prosecco and seltzer add just enough fizz. Finish with apple slices and seasonal herbs and spices for an easy cocktail that’s sure to become a fall favorite. Feel free to scale up and batch this cocktail in a pitcher for a larger gathering.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Fill a large, stemmed wine glass with ice. Add the cider and brandy, pour in the prosecco and top with a large splash of seltzer. Add a straw and stir. Garnish with apple slices and a thyme sprig, cinnamon stick and star anise pod. Serve immediately.
