Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz Vodka
  • 3 oz Apple Cider (unfiltered preferred)
  • 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 4 oz Ginger Beer (chilled)
  • Ice cubes
  • Garnish: Thin apple slice and cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Fill a copper mug or highball glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour the vodka, apple cider, and fresh lime juice into the mug.
  3. Top with chilled ginger beer.
  4. Gently stir the mixture once or twice to combine the ingredients without losing carbonation.
  5. Garnish with a thin apple slice and a cinnamon stick before serving.

Notes

  • For a Spiced Moscow Mule, add a dash of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the cider before mixing.
  • To make a pitcher for a party, mix the vodka, cider, and lime juice ahead of time. Add ice and ginger beer to individual glasses when serving.
  • Use a high-quality, strong-flavored ginger beer for the best taste.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and increase the apple cider slightly.
