The drink is a sparkling, golden color, and the glass is filled halfway with apple cider and topped off with champagne, creating a bubbly effect. On the side of the glass, there's a garnish of a thin apple slice or a cinnamon stick. The background is a cozy, autumnal setting with warm colors and maybe a few fallen leaves or apples around the base of the glass to enhance the seasonal feel. The lighting is soft and inviting, making the drink look refreshing and appealing.
