Make this refreshing Apple Cider Moscow Mule for a seasonal twist on the classic cocktail. It combines crisp apple cider, spicy ginger beer, and vodka for a quick, satisfying autumn sip perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz Vodka
  • 1 oz Fresh lime juice
  • 3 oz Apple cider (chilled)
  • 4 oz Ginger beer (chilled)
  • Garnish: Lime wheel and cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Chill your copper mug or highball glass before starting.
  2. Fill the mug completely with ice.
  3. Pour the vodka and fresh lime juice over the ice.
  4. Add the chilled apple cider.
  5. Top the mixture with ginger beer.
  6. Gently stir the ingredients together once or twice to combine. Do not over-stir, as this will flatten the ginger beer.
  7. Garnish with a lime wheel and a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.

Notes

  • For batch preparation for parties, combine the vodka, lime juice, and apple cider in a pitcher ahead of time. Keep chilled. Add ice and top with ginger beer individually when serving.
  • If you prefer a sweeter drink, substitute regular ginger beer with a ginger ale/ginger beer blend.
  • For a spiced flavor, lightly muddle a small piece of fresh ginger in the bottom of the mug before adding ice.
