"The apple cider mule has become my go-to for fall and winter because it feels special and you can build it right in the glass, no cocktail shaker required. No shaking, no straining, just fresh ingredients poured right into the mug. The sweet-tart apple cider mellows the spicy kick of ginger beer and lime adds a lift to each sip!"
"Apple Cider: Fresh, unfiltered apple cider is my preference: this is the type that is cloudy that has the apple pulp and sediment. It has the boldest apple flavor. Fresh Lime Juice: Bottled lime juice has a metallic taste that throws off the drink, so make sure to always use fresh lime juice. Ginger Beer: Don't use ginger ale! Ginger beer is spicier, more robust, and has actual ginger flavor."
The apple cider mule combines vodka, fresh lime juice, apple cider, and ginger beer for a seasonal take on the Moscow mule. Fresh, unfiltered apple cider provides bold apple flavor while mid-range vodka keeps the drink balanced. Freshly squeezed lime avoids metallic off-notes from bottled juice. Ginger beer delivers a spicy, robust ginger presence that differs from ginger ale. The drink is built directly in a copper mug or glass—no shaker or straining required. Suggested ratios are 1/4 cup vodka, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 cup apple cider, and ginger beer to top. The result is a sweet-tart, fizzy, cozy fall cocktail.
