🍎 September’s Drink of the Month: Spiced Apple Mule 🍎

As we tip toe into the fall months the Spiced Apple Mule helps ease us into this transition. It is a cozy twist on the classic Moscow Mule, swapping lime for apple cider and adding a dash of warm spice for that perfect seasonal vibe. Fizzy, tangy, and lightly spiced, it’s a cocktail that feels just as right at a backyard bonfire as it does at a holiday dinner table.

Spiced Apple Mule Recipe:

• 2 oz vodka (or bourbon for a warmer twist)

• 2 oz apple cider

• ½ oz fresh lime juice

• ½ oz spiced simple syrup

• 3 oz ginger beer (chilled)
