Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 3 oz Apple Cider (unfiltered preferred)
- 4 oz Ginger Beer (chilled)
- Ice cubes
- Garnish: Apple slices and a cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Chill your copper mug or highball glass.
- Fill the glass completely with ice cubes.
- Pour the vodka and fresh lime juice over the ice.
- Add the apple cider to the glass.
- Top the mixture with chilled ginger beer.
- Gently stir the drink once or twice to combine the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.

Notes
- For batch preparation, mix the vodka, lime juice, and apple cider in a pitcher ahead of time. Do not add the ginger beer until you are ready to serve.
- If you want a warmer, spicier drink, use a ginger beer with a higher ginger content.
- To make this a Caramel Apple Moscow Mule, add 0.5 oz of caramel vodka or a small drizzle of caramel syrup before topping with ginger beer.
