Fall Cocktail: Apple Cider Moscow Mule

A classic Moscow Mule is hard not to love. With vodka, lime, and ginger beer it is a hit with almost everyone I know!

So I made this crowd pleasing cocktail into a fall version!

The apple cider goes so well into a mule, adding in a note of sweetness without being overpowering.

And if you have any extra apple cider leftover you can make a delicious Apple Cider Sangria or an Apple Cider Margarita.

So perfect for sitting around a campfire with friends and great for pairing with a fall dessert like Homemade Apple Pie or Spice Cupcakes.

ingredients

• Vodka – Vodka is a great alcohol to serve to a crowd, since it generally has a neutral flavor! I typically buy Tito’s but in this drink you can really use whatever vodka you have on hand.
• Apple Cider – Make sure this is Apple Cider and not Apple Juice. Apple cider is typically found in the refrigerated section opposed to apple juice found in the juice aisle.
• Lime Juice – I thought doing without the lime made this drink to sweet and not ‘mule’ enough tasting, so you will need fresh limes. About 1 medium sized lime typically will produce about 1 ounce of lime juice.
• Ginger Beer – Ginger beers can range a lot brand to brand of fizziness and sweetness. I typically like to use Fever Tree Ginger Beer for cocktails. I also happen to like Fever Tree because the bottles are smaller which means you can make 1 or 2 drinks and not feel like you are wasting a bunch of Ginger Beer.
• Rosemary Sprig – I thought this cocktail was awesome by changing the garnish to something a little less assuming than a cinnamon stick, the rosemary garnished does wonders. It adds just a hint of herb without really being in the cocktail.
• Apple Slices – Not technically needed in the drink a few apple slices are fun garnishes to add to the drink!
