Apple Ginger Moscow Mule
Ingredients:
For the cocktail
- 1 ounce vodka
- ¼ cup apple cider (or fresh apple juice)
- 1½ teaspoons lemon juice (fresh squeezed )
- ¼ cup ginger beer
For serving
- Crushed ice or ice cubes
- Sliced apple (for garnish)
- Cinnamon stick (optional)
- Lemon swirl (optional)
Instructions:
- Fill a copper mug or large glass with ice.
- Pour the vodka, apple cider, lemon juice, and ginger beer over the ice. Stir well to mix.
- Garnish with sliced apple, cinnamon stick, and lemon swirl. Enjoy!
Notes:
The quickest way to make a lemon swirl is to use a vegetable peeler to remove a strip of zest. Alternatively, you can thinly slice a lemon crosswise, then cut through one side of the peel, and discard the lemon flesh. Twist the peel with your fingers for shape, then add it to the drink as a garnish.
