16 fl oz 473 ml unfiltered apple cider, chilled
16 fl oz 473 ml Brut champagne or dry sparkling wine, chilled
2 teaspoons 10 ml fresh lemon juice
4 cinnamon sticks
4 thin apple slices

Chill champagne flutes or coupe glasses in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
Add ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) fresh lemon juice to each glass.

Slowly pour 4 fl oz (120 ml) chilled Brut champagne or dry sparkling wine down the side of each glass.

Notes

Keep both liquids chilled.
Use unfiltered apple cider rather than clear apple juice.
Brut or Extra Brut sparkling wine works best.
Prosecco can be substituted for champagne.
Don't stir after adding the sparkling wine.
Don't pre-mix the drinks because they will lose carbonation.
Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
