Ingredients needed:

A bottle of Prosecco, a jug of Musselman’s apple cider, and two fresh apples displayed on a marble countertop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this drink ahead of time?

It's best to assemble right before serving so the Prosecco keeps its bubbles. You can chill the cider, then prep apple slices and pour everything together when it's time to serve.

What type of cider works best?

A fresh, non-alcoholic apple cider pairs beautifully with Prosecco, but you can use hard cider if you want an extra boozy kick. Either way, stick with a cider that isn't overly sweet so the drink stays balanced.
