There is absolutely no reason why this Apple Cider Mojito should work. None. Mint and apple cider? I mean, what rational mind thinks that they're a perfect marriage? Me neither. But rest assured, they absolutely do. It's like a caramel apple in cocktail form. And I'm betting the reason it works so well is my Brown Sugar Simple Syrup.
