Here’s what you’ll be crafting in the class:

Midnight Mocktail Recipe

Feeling a little spooky? Then you’ll love the Midnight Mocktail, inspired by My Sweet Apetite’s recipe. This refreshingly dark drink uses blackberries for a sweet, tart blend that instantly puts you in a hauntingly good mood.

Equipment:

• Cocktail Shaker with strainer 
• Jigger
• Highball Glass

Ingredients:

• 5 blackberries
• ½ oz simple syrup 
• ¾ oz lime juice
• 4 oz lemon-lime soda

Instructions:

1. Combine roughly 5 blackberries, simple syrup, lime juice, and ice in your cocktail shaker.
2. Shake thoroughly for at least 20 seconds. 
3. Strain into an ice-filled highball glass.
4. Top it off with chilled lemon-lime soda. If desired, garnish with blackberries or a lime wedge.

This recipe isn’t just convenient (you can use fresh or frozen berries), it’s also flexible. For those wanting an alcoholic kick in their drink, you can easily transform this into a cocktail. Simply add 1.5 oz of vodka or rum to your shaker, and adjust the lemon-lime soda accordingly to your cup size!

Apple Ginger Fizz Recipe

Looking for something with an apple-orchard-picking vibe? You’ll love our Apple Ginger Fizz, inspired by My Bartender’s recipe, and perfect for sipping under a cozy fall blanket.

Equipment:

•    Cocktail Shaker with strainer 
•    Jigger
•    Highball Glass
•    Bar Spoon

Ingredients:

•    3 oz apple cider
•    1 oz lime juice
•    6 mint leaves
•    Pinch of powdered cinnamon
•    3 oz ginger ale

Instructions:

1. Combine the apple cider, lime juice, a pinch of cinnamon, and ice in a cocktail shaker.
2. Clap the mint leaves between your hands to release their aroma before adding them to the shaker.
3. Shake vigorously for at least 20 seconds.
4. Strain it into an ice-filled highball glass and top it up with ginger ale. Garnish with mint leaves, a dried cinnamon stick, or an apple slice, if desired.

With this drink, you can adjust the sweetness by choosing different types of apple cider – unfiltered or fresh-pressed cider will give you a richer flavor. If you like your spices, add a pinch of ground cloves. For those wanting an alcoholic kick in their drink, you can easily transform this into a cocktail. Simply add 1.5 oz of bourbon, rum, or caramel-flavored vodka to your shaker, and adjust the ginger ale accordingly to your cup size!

We’re super excited for you to join us at Prairie Harvest Fest and fall in love with the flavors of the season. Cheers!
