Caramel Apple Moscow Mule
Caramel apple meets Moscow mule in this cozy fall cocktail. Ginger beer, apple cider, and caramel vodka make it dangerously easy to sip.
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 tablespoons caramel sauce divided (plus extra for topping)
- Ice to fill the mug
- 2 ounces vanilla vodka
- Juice of half a lime approximately 1 tablespoon
- 4 ounces ginger beer
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh apple diced small
- 1 lime wedge for garnish
Instructions
- Drizzle approximately one tablespoon of caramel sauce into the bottom of a copper mug. Swirl it slightly around the inside walls.
- Fill the mug with ice.
- Pour the vanilla vodka over the ice.
- Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and give the mixture a quick stir.
- Slowly pour in the ginger beer to preserve the carbonation.
- Add the diced apple pieces directly into the mug.
- Drizzle an additional half tablespoon of caramel sauce over the top of the drink.
- Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and serve immediately.
Notes
Salted caramel sauce adds a wonderful contrast to the sweet and spicy flavors in this drink.
Chill your copper mug in the freezer for ten minutes before building the cocktail for best results.
For a mocktail version, omit the vodka and replace with sparkling apple cider. Check caramel sauce labels for dairy if making a dairy-free version for little ones.
Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady apples hold up best in the drink without going mushy.
To batch this for a party, multiply the vodka and lime juice and mix ahead. Add ginger beer, apples, and caramel drizzle per mug at serving time.
