A Not-Too-Sweet Sparkly Spiked Cider for Fall

Apple cider is great, but it can sometimes be a little sweet. Also, it’s non-alcoholic. So to solve those two problems, we added rum and ginger beer to create The Stonewall. The name is taken from a classic cocktail dating back to the American Revolution made with dark rum and hard cider. Our ingredients lighten up the cider and make it sparkly, too! Cheers, my dears!
