Next: we’re thrilled that star Instagram chef Sydnee Cooke (helluva name for a cook!) is here with a drink that’s zero proof, one trillion percent flavor. …Huh? “No such thing as one trillion percent”? Like I said, up in my Note, numbers ain’t my thing. This drink is, though. Bottoms up.

This delightful mocktail combines the crispness of apple cider, the sparkle of fizzy water and a zesty hint of lemon juice, all served with a caramel-rimmed glass adorned with crushed peanuts and a fresh apple slice. It’s a playful and refreshing way to celebrate the fall season.
