Apple Cider Spritzer
As a family of cooks and creatives, we seldom neglect the beverage part of celebrations. Known for our “signature cocktails,” we enjoy marking holidays and special gatherings with a drink that suits the occasion. This apple cider recipe was the idea of my darling daughter, Allison. The cider reduction is great for non-alcoholic drinks, too. Add it to ginger beer or over ice with a splash of seltzer.
