Apple Cider Mule

A mule with cider in place of the vodka. Autumn's best drink and it takes three minutes.

Ingredients

  • 3 oz cloudy apple cider (non-alcoholic)
  • 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 3 oz spicy ginger beer
  • Apple slice and cinnamon stick, to garnish

Method

  1. 1Fill a copper mug or highball glass with crushed ice.
  2. 2Add the apple cider and lime juice.
  3. 3Top with ginger beer and stir once.
  4. 4Garnish with an apple slice and a cinnamon stick.

Notes

  • Cloudy cider, not clear apple juice — the difference is substantial.
  • A grating of nutmeg over the top makes it smell like the season.
  • Scales to a jug easily; hold the ginger beer until serving.

Make one of these next

  • Pomegranate Ginger Fizz

    Deep colour, real bite. The most grown-up-looking drink on this list and one of the quickest.

  • Moscow Mule Mocktail

    Ginger, lime and bite. The mule loses less to going alcohol-free than almost any other classic.

  • Spiced Apple Fizz

    Autumn in a glass, and the most reliable crowd-pleaser at a holiday party.
