Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz bourbon, (see notes)
  • 3 oz apple cider
  • 3 oz ginger beer, (see notes)
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • apple slice, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • In a copper mug over ice add the bourbon, apple cider, ginger beer, and lime juice. Stir gently.
  • Garnish the mug with a thin apple slice, if you're feeling fancy.

Notes

Notes:
  • I prefer Bulleit or Buffalo Trace (not an ad, I just love these brands)
  • I really like Fever Tree Ginger Beer. It's pretty spicy. 
  • A copper mug isn't completely necessary, but recommended if you can get your hands on one.
  • Crushed ice is my go-to when making a Mule
