Method
Prepare Your Ingredients:
Gather all your ingredients. If using fresh lime, squeeze the juice into a jigger for easier pouring.
Fill the Mug:
Fill a copper mug (or glass) with ice cubes to keep your drink chilled.
Mix the Cocktail:
Pour 2 oz of vodka over the ice.
Add 1 oz of fresh lime juice.
Stir in 3 oz of ginger beer and 1 oz of apple cider.
Add the Spice:
Sprinkle ½ tsp of ground cinnamon into the mixture. For a more subtle flavor, you can add a cinnamon stick instead.
Garnish:
Garnish your Apple Cinnamon Mule with a slice of apple and a cinnamon stick. This not only looks great but enhances the aroma!
Enjoy:
Give it a gentle stir, and your Apple Cinnamon Mule is ready to enjoy!
Variations
Spiced Apple Cider Mule: Replace ginger beer with spiced apple cider for a warmer flavor.
Mocktail Version: Omit the vodka and use extra ginger beer and apple cider to keep it alcohol-free.
Herbal Twist: Add a sprig of mint for a refreshing herbal note.
