Apple Cider Ginger Beer Mule Cocktail

Oct 16, 2020 · 3 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This apple cider ginger beer mule cocktail is the epitome of fall in a glass.  It is so good, refreshing and I want to make it over and over.

One of my favorite parts about this recipe is that it is only 5 ingredients (perfect for my Five-Ingredient Fridays series where I post a new 5-ingredient recipe on Fridays).

  1. Vodka – be sure to use a decent vodka for this recipe.  I like using Titos or Absolute.
  2. Apple cider – this is best when it comes fresh from a local orchard
  3. Lime juice – helps add the touch of tart in this recipe.
  4. Ginger Beer – this is available at stores or you can buy it on Amazon here.
  5. Apple slices or lime – you can use either or both for a garnish

Ingredients to make an Apple Cider Ginger Beer Mule Cocktail

Nick is the cocktail maker in our house.  He enjoys it and is great at it.  So, coming up with new cocktail recipes is always especially fun because I get to brainstorm with him.  One cocktail that Nick and I enjoy so much is my recipe for an apple cider old fashioned, that is also only 5 ingredients.  Another recipe that uses fresh cider from the orchard. And we love making Moscow mules, so this is a fun updated version of a Moscow mule.

How do you make am apple cider ginger beer mule cocktail?

  1. Fill a copper mule mug with ice (Crate & Barrel has the beautiful mugs you see pictured – available in cooper, graphite and gold – here).  Pour vodka over ice.  Add apple cider.
  2. Slice a lime and squeeze in juice.  Freshly squeezed is always best.
  3. Top with ginger beer.  Stir to combine
  4. Garnish with a slice of apple and a wedge of lime.

Are there any substitutions you can make in this recipe?

  • I tried this recipe with a pumpkin apple cider and it was also surprisingly delicious.  The pumpkin cider had just enough of a hint of pumpkin and it wasn’t over-powering at all. You could also make this with cherry cider!
  • If you don’t have ginger beer, you can use ginger ale in this cocktail, but it will make the cocktail significantly sweeter, with a bit less of a fresh ginger taste.
  • Feel free to substitute gin or even rum in place of vodka if you prefer a different liquor.

If you’re on the hunt for a great, fresh apple cider, there is a super popular orchard in our area (Alyssa actually mentioned it in last week’s Love List) called Elegant Farmer.  They have amazing cider and a million other great products as well (their apple pies in a paper bag are famous).

This meatball Caesar pizza is a fun pizza topping This meatball Caesar pizza is a fun pizza topping combo that combines best of both worlds: meatballs and tangy Caesar dressing 🤩
TIP: I used Costco frozen meatballs which have a little heat to them. If your meatballs are on the plainer side, I’d recommend adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes!
