FAQs
Can this mocktail be considered an “apple cider” mocktail?
While this drink features apple juice and cinnamon, which are common in apple cider, it is not quite the same. Apple cider typically has a more concentrated apple flavor and may include additional spices. This recipe is a lighter, bubbly version.
Can I make this recipe without Jihi’s Reverie?
Yes, you can enjoy the mocktail without the Reverie evening tincture, although the tincture adds a special touch for relaxation. Alternatively, a few drops of a calming herbal tincture like chamomile or lavender can be used for a similar effect.
Is the cinnamon thyme simple syrup necessary?
The cinnamon thyme simple syrup adds depth and complexity to the mocktail, but if you prefer a simpler version, you can use plain simple syrup and add a dash of ground cinnamon instead.
Can I use store-bought apple juice?
Yes, store-bought apple juice works perfectly for this recipe. Just ensure it is 100% apple juice without added sugars or artificial flavors.
Can I prepare this recipe in advance?
This drink is best enjoyed fresh to preserve the fizz of the sparkling water and the freshness of the ingredients. However, you can mix the apple juice, simple syrup, and Reverie ahead of time and add the soda water and ice just before serving.
