💭 What is a Caramel Apple Moscow Mule
A Moscow Mule is a cocktail made up of lime juice, vodka, and ginger beer. The original is delicious. One of my favorites.
A Caramel Apple Moscow Mule uses caramel vodka and apple cider in addition to the lime juice and ginger beer. It really tastes just like a boozy caramel apple!
📝 Ingredients
- Caramel vodka: This is key to making this drink taste like a caramel apple. I've generally had luck finding the Smirnoff brand of caramel-flavored vodka.
- Apple cider: Look for it in the refrigerated section (or sometimes the produce section) of your grocery store.
- Ginger beer: I like a nice, spicy ginger beer, but use whatever you prefer. Keep in mind that using a sweeter ginger beer will alter the overall sweetness of the drink.
- Lime juice: Freshly squeezed, please!
- Apple slice: This is optional, but it sure looks pretty.
👩🏻🍳 How do you make a Caramel Apple Moscow Mule?
Very easily, fortunately!
Start by filling a copper mug with ice. I prefer crushed ice. If you don't have a copper mug, a regular glass will suffice. Copper mugs help to keep the drink icy cold. Plus, they look really pretty.
Vodka, apple cider, lime juice, and ginger beer all go into the mug/glass. Give it a all a gentle stir, then garnish!
❓ FAQs
Make sure to use apple cider. You can find it in the refrigerated section near the produce pretty much year round.
It's what gives this drink it's caramel flavor. You could maybe try using some caramel sauce or syrup in the event that you can't find caramel vodka. But I haven't tested this recipe with anything other than the flavored vodka.
You don't have to, but it sure is pretty, and keeps your drink cold.
