Table of Contents

This is my first mocktail recipe! 🤭 it was so much fun to use these cocktail glasses and I found the perfect cocktail shaker, it was pretty much meant to be. And the sunlight was perfect this day, some of my favorite photos!

Very rarely do I drink alcoholic beverages… any amount of alcohol makes me feel sick (and I’m an extreme lightweight 😆) plus, I don’t really enjoy the taste, so it makes perfect sense to enjoy the vibe of a cocktail without the booze. I really enjoyed these Pumpkin Apple Cider Mocktails! They’re sweet but not too sweet, there’s real pumpkin involved, and there’s a fizzy finish with a splash of kombucha!

Whip them up on a weekend fall afternoon, as a fun cocktail to serve at your Halloween party, or even as a fancy schmancy cocktail for your Thanksgiving gatherings 🤗.

Add the ice and all the ingredients to a cocktail shaker and shake until well combined.

Wet the rims of your glasses with a slice of apple and then coat the rims with coconut/raw sugar.

Pour the mocktail into glasses leaving room to top with a splash of kombucha or sparkling water… or alternatively a splash of ginger ale.

Mocktail Customizations

You can customize this mocktail to your liking by swapping a few ingredients.

Swap apple cider for apple juice. If you by some chance can’t find apple cider you can use apple juice.

Make it boozy! You can make this mocktail a boozy cocktail by adding a splash of apple brandy, bourbon, or vanilla rum.

Swap the flavor of kombucha for another flavor kombucha- or you can use ginger beer (non-alcoholic), sparkling water, or ginger ale.

Instead of coconut sugar on the rims you could use raw sugar, or no sugar, although I did like the sugared rims because the cocktail isn’t overly sweet on its own, unless you add maple syrup.
