Old Fashioned Mocktail Recipe

If you missed it last week, we shared The Perfect Cozy Fall Cocktail Recipe from our new favorite cocktail bar in Woodstock, Vermont. Au Comptoir uses their own homemade juices, syrups, tinctures and infused liquor to make each cocktail finely crafted to perfection. Something lovely about Au Comptoir is they also offer mocktails for those who want to enjoy a drink sans spirits.

Au Comptoir shared their delicious Old Fashioned Mocktail recipe with us called “Sapling.” It’s an apple, cinnamon-inspired beverage that gives the perfect crisp, refreshing fall vibes that’s also nicely balanced without being too sweet.

Old Fashioned Mocktail Recipe

Sapling

Apple pie in a glass, this mocktail is flavorful enough to be slowly sipped like an old fashioned. 

Ingredients

  • 3 oz fresh apple cider 
  • 1 oz lemon juice 
  • 3/4 oz cinnamon syrup 

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a shaking tin packed full of ice. Shake well and strain into a large rocks glass with one large ice cube. Garnish with a dehydrated apple slice.

    We made this for our Canadian Thanksgiving dinner guests! It was delicious by itself for those of us who didn’t want any alcohol, but also delicious with whisky and bourbon. The cinnamon syrup was key (we simmered 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, one cup of sugar, and one cup of water, and it turned out great). Thanks for the recipe!

    This cocktail’s legendary status was cemented during the post-Prohibition era, when it became the preferred beverage of Mad Men, movie moguls, and everyone in between. bitters, sugar syrup, and American malt. This is the drink one orders once they’ve arrived because it’s smooth, straightforward, and most palatable.
