I promised over the summer when I shared my grapefruit Moscow mule recipe that I was going hard on Moscow mules from basically now until eternity. I’m making good on my word today, with your new favorite drink of fall! An apple cider Moscow mule made with cinnamon sugar, fresh apple cider and ginger beer, of course. We’re officially at the point where we keep ginger beer stocked in the fridge at all times. Because you just never know. Maybe you come home from the cider mill with a jug of fresh cider and the mood strikes you to whip up something tasty and delicious. Maybe that happened to us the other day. Maybe I’m not going to judge you however and whenever you drink your mules. No judgement here, friends! Just be sure to give this one a try. You’ll be glad you did!
Apple Cider Moscow Mule
Makes 1 serving
- 2 oz vodka
- 3 oz ginger beer
- 3 oz fresh apple cider
- 1 tsp cinnamon sugar
- 2 or 3 apple slices
- Cinnamon stick (optional)
Place an apple slice or two in the bottom of a copper mug or cocktail glass. Sprinkle in the cinnamon sugar, then muddle with the back of a spoon. Fill the mug with ice, then pour in vodka, ginger beer and apple cider. Gently stir to combine. Garnish with an additional apple slice and a cinnamon stick. Sip and enjoy!

If I made this on bulk (like a pitcher) would it still have the same effect? Or does the ginger beer get flat?

Hi Nichole! It would definitely work in a pitcher. I'd make it just before (15 minutes or so) or right as your guests are set to arrive and you could definitely serve it out of a pitcher. It likely won't last long enough to go flat ;-)
