Apple Mules

There’s no easier happy hour cocktail than a mule. Three ingredients and no special tools required! Which also means it’s super easy - and fun - to create variations on this classic drink.

Apple Mules are delicious any time of year thanks to apple vodka. Ginger and apple are a delicious pairing, with the lime keeping the sweetness in check. 

Mule drinks are traditionally served in a copper mug. Don’t have one? No problem. A rocks glass or old fashioned glass will work great. 

Ingredients:

Makes 1 cocktail. 

2 oz apple vodka 
4 oz ginger beer
¼ of a fresh lime

Fill a glass with ice. 

Top with apple vodka. 

Squeeze ¼ of a lime over the vodka. Add the lime wedge into the glass if desired. 

Top with 4 oz ginger beer. 

Give your cocktail a gentle stir. 

Garnish with thin slices of apple and/or lime. 

Enjoy! 

Tips on Apple Mules

• If you can’t find apple vodka, make some! Place a cored, chopped apple in a pint mason jar and fill the jar with vodka. Let it sit in a cool, dry place (like your pantry) for 7-14 days, depending on the strength of apple flavor you’d like. Strain the apples out of the vodka and enjoy your homemade apple vodka! 
• Ginger beer is non alcoholic (like root beer!), and different from ginger ale.
• Fresh lime is a must in this drink. There’s only 3 ingredients, so fresh juice makes a big difference.
