Begin by moistening the rim of a chilled glass with a lemon or orange slice. Dip the rim into raw sugar until evenly coated, then fill the glass with ice.

Using a vegetable peeler, cut a long, thin strip of orange peel and set it aside to enhance the visual appeal and release aromatic oils.

In a cocktail shaker, add ice, ginger simple syrup, freshly squeezed orange juice, and lemon juice. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well combined and chilled.

Carefully strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice, then top with sparkling apple cider, pouring gently to preserve the fizz.

Squeeze the prepared orange peel over the drink to release the essential oils and place it as a garnish along with a slice of apple.

Serve immediately and encourage guests to appreciate the vibrant colors and aromas before indulging.
