Can you tell that we’re way in to the back-to-school theme around here? My styleboard from last week had us reminiscing in the office about the first day of classes and that oh-so-important first day outfit. And we’re decidedly jealous of the only adults we know whose lives get to continue on the rhythm of an academic calendar: teachers! Do we have any educators among our readers? If so, today we’re toasting you with this bookish beverage inspired by classroom staples:
Ingredients:
- one bottle of brut rose bubbly
- natural cane sugar cubes (one per drink)
- one bottle of cranapple juice
- one can of ginger ale
- one red apple
Instructions:
To create our “Teacher’s Aid” cocktail mix 1/3 brut rose, 1/3 giner ale, and 1/3 cranapple juice in a champagne flute. Drop one sugar cube into the bottom of the glass and garnish with a slice of red apple. You can soak the apple slice in lemon or lime juice to keep it from browning. Bottoms up, Professors!
so fun. my sister is a teacher, and this would absolutely make her day. a good way to put all those apples to use 🙂
Yes! Cheers to your sister! We need to celebrate the great teachers in our lives.
I’m not a teacher but I definitely have some teachers in the family who would appreciate this drink! Looks divine! Can’t wait to try it! Thank you for sharing!
Cheers!

This will be my last year teaching. I plan to retire after 35 years. I think this would be a fitting beginning and ending drink for this year!
