We love adding a fun, festive twist to our favorite classic cocktails! The rich spice of ginger beer makes the perfect pairing for a spiced apple simple syrup. Stick with North Shore Vodka for a classic vibe, or sub in Aquavit – Private Reserve to amp up the winter spice even more.
Spiced Apple Mule
1½ oz Aquavit – Private Reserve (or our North Shore Vodka, or try it with our Sirène Absinthe Verte)
½ oz Spiced Apple Simple
½ oz Fresh Lime Juice
Ginger Beer
Shake first three ingredients with ice, then strain into copper mule mug over fresh ice. Top with ginger beer, garnish with a fresh slice of apple. Cheers!
Muletide Greetings (Pitcher Recipe)
If you want to make this cocktail in bulk in a pitcher, you can simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you’re aiming to make, and add 1.25 oz of water for each one. Then, you can skip the shaking! Serve over fresh ice – it’s best not to put ice into the pitcher, as it will overly dilute the drink. Below is a recipe for a pitcher of 8 drinks:
12 oz Aquavit – Private Reserve (or our North Shore Vodka, or try it with our Sirène Absinthe Verte)
4 oz Spiced Apple Simple
6 oz Fresh Lime Juice
Ginger Beer
Combine ingredients in a pitcher. Serve over fresh ice — top with ginger beer, then stir. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or an apple slice.
