Apple Cider Moscow Mule Ingredients
- Apple Cider- I like to use fresh apple cider found in the produce section of the grocery store instead of shelf stable apple cider.
- Ginger Beer
- Vodka
- Cinnamon Stick– both for flavor and garnish
- Cranberries– freeze them ahead of time. They are not only a beautiful season garnish but can also help keep the drink cold.
- Lime– both for the juice and a slice of lime to garnish your drink.

Substitutions and Variations
Want to change up the recipe a bit? These hard alcohols also work great in this Moscow mule recipe. What alcohol should I mix with apple cider? Caramel vodka, fireball, whiskey, bourbon or spiced rum are great substitutes. Don’t like ginger beer use ginger ale or a seltzer.
