Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz Vodka
  • 4 oz Apple Cider (chilled)
  • 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 4 oz Ginger Beer (chilled)
  • Ice cubes
  • Garnish: Apple slices and a cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Chill your copper mug or highball glass.
  2. Fill the mug completely with ice cubes.
  3. Pour the vodka, apple cider, and fresh lime juice over the ice.
  4. Gently top the mixture with chilled ginger beer.
  5. Stir briefly to combine the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.
  6. Garnish the drink with thin apple slices and a cinnamon stick.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a batch cocktail recipe, combine 1 cup vodka, 2 cups apple cider, and 1/4 cup lime juice in a pitcher. Keep chilled. When serving, pour the mixture over ice and top each glass individually with ginger beer.
  • Use high-quality, spicy ginger beer for the best flavor contrast against the sweet cider.
  • For an apple cinnamon cocktail flavor, lightly muddle a small piece of cinnamon stick in the bottom of the mug before adding ice.
