Apple Cider Ginger Beer Cocktails

I’ve got a delicious drink for you today that’s absolutely perfect for fall!

Ginger beer is pretty popular in a lot of mixed drinks these days – like Moscow mules. It adds that fizzy and spicy element, making the mule that much more delicious.

Now what if you add apple cider to it? An apple cider Moscow mule? Basiclly. And you’re going to love it.

You’ll try this apple cider ginger beer cocktail and be immediately whisked away to a land of autumn leaves and cool breezes . . . even if the weather is still hot where you are (like it is where I am).

I just love fall and the flavors that go with it, so this cocktail is just about as good as it gets for me.

Note: I’ve been asked if the cider can be substituted with apple juice. The drink will taste much sweeter unless you use unsweetened juice. Give it a small taste test before you commit so your taste buds aren’t overwhelmed. You might not like it . . . but you might.

One thing I really love about this fall cocktail, besides the crisp flavor, is how easy it goes down. I love a mixed drink with a considerable amount of alcohol that I can’t taste. Is that weird?

It’s more important to me to taste the other flavors of the beverage and have the alcohol accentuate them, rather than overwhelm them. This cocktail does that for me.

You don’t need to garnish the beverage, but it gives such a pretty look to your drink, especially if you are serving for a party. This recipe makes two servings – one for you and one for a friend!

Ingredients (Serves 2)

  • Freshly squeezed apple cider – 8 ounces
  • Vodka – 3 ounces (add more if you wish)
  • Ginger beer
  • Cinnamon sticks and apple slices for garnishing
  • Handful of ice cubes

Pour your apple cider cocktail into the prepped glasses and top it off with the ginger beer. Garnish with apple slices and cinnamon stick. Enjoy!
