Ghostly Ginger Mocktail

1. To make the honey syrup. In a medium pot, bring 1/2 cup water, honey, and ginger to a boil over high heat. Boil for 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat. Let cool. This syrup makes enough for about 6 drinks.
2. Fill a cocktail glass halfway with ice. 
3. In a cocktail shaker, combine 2-3 tablespoons of honey syrup, apple cider, lemon juice, and vanilla. Add ice and shake—strain over a prepared glass. Top off with ginger beer. Add a cinnamon stick and apple slice. Enjoy!
