The perfect fall spin on a Moscow mule? An apple cider Moscow mule of course!

I don’t like my drinks to be super sweet, so I always fall back on a Moscow mule if I’m unsure of what to drink while out. Or, an Irish mule for those of you who love a little Jameson like I do.

I was asked at work to host a virtual cooking class and so I decided everyone could use a cocktail during this covid season and therefore we absolutely needed to make a seasonal drink during our cooking class. I paired this with my salted caramel apple crisp – I think we can call both of them a win.

For anyone in the St. Louis area, if you know Eckert’s Farm then you’ve probably had their fresh apple cider. Honestly, that’s probably the secret ingredient to this- fresh cider. That and Costco vodka because that’s yet another one of their great finds.

The best part of making cocktails is that they can be modified for your personal taste. If you’re interested in the sweet and crisp taste of the apple cider Moscow mule without the alcohol, simply omit adding in the vodka into this recipe.
