Ingredients
Scale
2 oz Vodka
4 oz Apple Cider (unfiltered preferred)
3 oz Ginger Beer
0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
Garnish: Lime wheel and Cinnamon stick
Instructions
Fill a copper mug or highball glass with ice.
Add vodka, apple cider, and fresh lime juice to the mug.
Top with ginger beer.
Gently stir the ingredients together once or twice. Do not over-stir, as this will flatten the ginger beer.
Garnish with a lime wheel and a cinnamon stick before serving.
Notes
For a pitcher version serving 8, combine 16 oz vodka, 32 oz apple cider, 24 oz ginger beer, and 4 oz lime juice in a large pitcher filled with ice. Stir lightly and pour into individual mugs.
If you prefer a sweeter drink, use a sweeter style of ginger beer or add a small splash of maple syrup.
For a Caramel Apple Moscow Mule variation, add 0.5 oz caramel syrup to the mug before adding ice.
