Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups high-quality apple cider (clear or lightly filtered)
  • ½ cup homemade cinnamon simple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1–2 teaspoons edible gold glitter (food-safe)
  • Ice cubes (preferably large, clear cubes)
  • Cinnamon sticks for garnish
  • Apple slices for garnish (optional)
  • For Cinnamon Simple Syrup:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 4–5 cinnamon sticks (Ceylon cinnamon preferred)

Instructions

  1. Make Cinnamon Simple Syrup: In medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, and cinnamon sticks. Bring to gentle boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes until light golden and aromatic. Cool completely, then strain out cinnamon sticks.
  2. Prepare Glassware: Chill goblets or wine glasses in freezer for at least 15 minutes. Clear glass is essential to showcase the magical golden appearance and glitter effects.
  3. Mix the Base: In pitcher, combine apple cider, cinnamon simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to blend flavors without creating excessive foam. Use 4:1:0.5 ratio (cider:syrup:lemon juice) for optimal balance.
  4. Add the Magic: Add edible gold glitter to mixture and stir in figure-eight pattern to create swirling effect. Glitter should distribute evenly, creating streams of golden sparkle throughout the liquid.
  5. Serve with Elegance: Pour slowly over ice in chilled glasses, filling about ¾ full. Garnish with cinnamon stick and thin apple slice arranged on rim. Position where ambient light will catch the golden shimmer.

Notes

Ingredient Quality: Use high-quality apple cider with natural golden color – avoid overly processed or artificially flavored varieties. Edible gold glitter is available at baking stores or online (look for mica-based rather than plastic).

Dietary Modifications: Sugar-free version uses stevia or monk fruit simple syrup. Lower calorie option dilutes cider with sparkling water. Ensure apple cider is vegan-friendly if needed.

Make-Ahead: Cinnamon syrup keeps refrigerated up to 1 month. Base mixture can be prepared 4 hours ahead – add glitter just before serving.

Presentation Tips: Glitter naturally settles – stir gently before serving to reactivate shimmer. Position glasses to catch light for maximum magical effect.

Party Serving: Set up self-serve station with pre-mixed base and glitter for interactive fun.
