Enjoy a delicious Ginger, Apple, and Maple Mule
This is the kind of cocktail that fits right in while sitting on a big front porch watching the brightly colored leaves drifting to earth. The delicious simplicity of this beverage is so unpretentious, you don’t need any special reason to enjoy a mug. And yet, if you choose to serve Ginger, Apple, and Maple Mules at an Autumn party, it works well there, too.
This cocktail is delicious enough to be popular even among people who don’t really enjoy the taste of alcohol. Don’t be surprised if they ask you what’s in it. And if you share the recipe, you may just make them a fan of Ginger Apple and Maple Mules for life.
When you’re making these mules, you may also enjoy whipping up some other drinks that are complementary. Give these a try too:
Ingredients you need to make a Ginger Apple and Maple Mule
- 2 oz Apple Brandy
- 1 tsp Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1-2 oz Vodka, optional
- Ginger Beer, to top
Note: A traditional Moscow Mule contains vodka. So if you want this to be a true mule, you can add a shot or two of your favorite vodka. The drink will taste great with or without the vodka. But note that it will be much stronger with the vodka, both in terms of alcohol and the drink’s flavor profile. The brandy we used, while containing alcohol, tastes very light in the drink and it’s alcohol flavor kind of disappears.
Low-Calorie Tip: If you want to reduce the calories or your sugar intake further, Brooklyn Crafted makes a really delicious sugar-free ginger beer. We really like it, and we haven’t been able to tell we were making a substitution when we made the drink with the sugar-free version.
