Apple Cider Moscow Mules

Generally I think of the Moscow Mule as a summer drink, but a recent recipe I found may have changed my mind. The Apple Cider Moscow Mule is a perfect drink for fall. And I have also found the perfect cup to drink it in- the AkaiGer Moscow Mule Mug.

This mug is hand-hammered out of 100% copper, and it is beautiful! It is very sturdy with no seams or rivets so you know it will never leak. It would make a stunning addition to any home bar.

INGREDIENTS (Serves One)

 2 ounces ginger flavored vodka

 2 ounces apple cider (store bought or homemade)

 Juice of 1 small lime wedge

 Good quality ginger beer to top off

 Cinnamon to sprinkle

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In your copper mug, add the vodka, apple cider and lime juice.

2. Fill the glass with ice, sprinkle cinnamon over the ice, then top off with ginger beer.

3. Stir well and garnish with an apple slice and cinnamon stick.

I may or may not have still garnished mine with mint instead (our mint plant is taking over our backyard!), but it was still delicious. Definitely a good way to transition a classic summer drink into the colder months.

I received a free mug to review but all opinions are my own.
