Serving Suggestions
When it comes to serving Apple Cider Mule, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that your cocktail is as delicious as possible.
Firstly, make sure to use fresh ingredients. The apple cider should be freshly pressed and the lime juice should be freshly squeezed. This will give your cocktail a bright, zesty flavor that will complement the sweetness of the apple cider.
When it comes to the ginger beer, choose a high-quality brand that is not too sweet. A good ginger beer will have a spicy kick that balances out the sweetness of the apple cider and adds depth to the cocktail.
Garnish with a slice of fresh apple for a pop of color and flavor. You can use any type of apple, but for more aesthetics use two slices one of a green apple and one of a red apple.
Try experimenting with different garnishes. A sprig of fresh rosemary or a cinnamon stick can add a festive touch, while a slice of fresh ginger can add extra spice to the cocktail.
Variations
Spiced Apple Cider Mule
For a spicier version of the Apple Cider Mule, add a pinch of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to the cocktail before you stir it. This will give the cocktail a warm, cozy flavor that's perfect for fall.
Cranberry Apple Cider Mule
If you're looking for an extra festive cocktail for the holidays, try adding a splash of cranberry juice to the Apple Cider Mule. The tartness of the cranberry juice pairs perfectly with the sweet apple cider and spicy ginger beer. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for a holiday aesthetics touch.
Maple Apple Cider Mule
For a sweeter version of the Apple Cider Mule, substitute maple syrup for the lime juice. This will give the cocktail a rich, sweet flavor that's perfect for sipping on a chilly evening.
Pear Apple Cider Mule
If you prefer pears to apples, substitute pear juice for the apple cider. The sweet, juicy flavor of the pear pairs perfectly with the spicy ginger beer and vodka. Garnish with a slice of fresh pear instead.
