Instructions

- Garnish: Drop one or two half-moon apple slices into the mug along with a cinnamon stick to add an aromatic garnish and enhance the drink’s seasonal feel.

Notes
- Use chilled ingredients to keep the drink cold without diluting it quickly.
- Do not substitute apple cider vinegar for apple cider, as the vinegar will alter the flavor drastically.
- Adjust the amount of ginger beer based on your preference for sweetness and spice level.
- Using a copper mug helps retain the cold temperature and enhances the traditional Moscow Mule experience.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and add extra ginger beer or sparkling water.
