Mulled Sparkling Cider

I love using sparkling water mixed with juice to make lighter versions of my favorite drinks and this Mulled Sparkling Cider is a great mix of carbonation and citrusy goodness. It’s a fun fall, winter, summer, or anytime drink. It’s sweet but not overly sweet and oh-so refreshing. I love mulled cider and this mulled sparkling cider is a fun play on the classic drink.

Sometimes I just want to drink something sweet but not too sweet and this drink is great for that. I love cinnamon mixed with fruity flavors and of course, I love the carbonation from sparkling water. The citrus and spice makes this perfect for any holiday party, the fact that you drink it chilled makes it great for a summer cookout make it the perfect and diverse recipe to add to your arsenal.
