    Is there a good substitute for the ginger beer? I'm allergic to ginger, but don't want to skip the step completely if I don't have to!

      You can use sparkling water!

    This sounds so yummy, will definitely try ! I have also had hot apple cider with cinnamon whiskey… Now there's a treat! 😉 And you don't have to be a whiskey lover for this drink either, it's so good!
