Effervescent ginger beer is a non-alcoholic mixer that’s an essential component of the Dark and Stormy and Moscow Mule—two popular cocktails. Here, the spicy heat of ginger is paired with the sweetness of apple to make a trendsetting mocktail. It’s rounded out by fresh vanilla bean simple syrup, a dash of apple bitters and fresh mint for complexity and balance.
