An autumnal treat that can be enjoyed all year round, this is a Moscow mule variation you will love. The tartness of the apple liqueur perfectly compliments the smooth richness of the caramel vodka and ginger beer, making this simple cocktail a decadent treat.

Ingredients

Simple ingredients for a delicious cocktail! What more could you ask for? Gather the following ingredients:

  • Caramel vodka: There are several different versions on the market, but we love Smirnoff. It’s also perfect in our Caramel Apple Sangria.
  • Apple liqueur: There are several great ones out there. And if you want a little more sophisticated taste, try some apple whiskey or apple brandy in this!
  • Lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice will of course taste the best, but bottled is just fine if that’s what you have on hand.
  • Ginger beer: See below for recommendations and for an alternative option.

Best Ginger Beer for Moscow Mules

If you have a preferred ginger beer, feel free to use that in this caramel apple mule recipe. Whether you use a ginger beer with alcohol or one without won’t affect the quality of the drink, but is rather a personal preference. Check the packaging to see if yours is alcohol-free. Here are a couple of options:

  • Crabbies and Sprecher Hard Ginger Beer are two trusted options that we love. Both of these options contain alcohol.
  • If you can’t find ginger beer near you or if you are looking for a sweeter option that will make a drink that isn’t quite as strong, you can substitute ginger ale.

How to Serve Caramel Apple Moscow Mules

These caramel apple mules are best served in a copper mug immediately after mixing. If you don’t have a copper mug, a glass tumbler will also work. Serve over ice and garnish with an apple slice or two for an extra tart touch.

Moscow Mule Mugs

Most (if not all) Moscow mule drinks are served in copper mugs. While this isn’t essential to make a good drink, the does help keep the drink cold. These caramel apple Moscow mules will be just as delicious if served in a glass.
