Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 ounces Vodka
  • 2 ounces Apple cider
  • 1/2 ounce Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 4 ounces Ginger beer, chilled
  • As needed Ice
Garnish
  • As desired Apple slice and/or cinnamon stick

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Fill a copper Moscow Mule mug or rocks glass with ice.
  2. Add the vodka, apple cider, and fresh lime juice to the glass. Stir briefly to combine.
  3. Top with the chilled ginger beer and stir gently once more.
  4. Garnish with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use apple cider rather than sparkling apple cider for the fullest apple flavor. Unfiltered cider is especially delicious. Chill the cider and ginger beer before mixing so the drink stays cold without becoming overly diluted. For a party, multiply the vodka, cider, and lime juice in a pitcher, then add the ginger beer immediately before serving.
