You've haven't truly experienced a Moscow Mule until you've had one made with our Apple Spice Syrup. This classic cocktail is usually made with just vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer. Our version takes it one step further, and the result is a refreshing and delicious drink you can whip up anytime for a celebratory autumn or holiday-inspired beverage.
Keep reading for the recipe (and the mocktail version if you prefer to stay alcohol free).
Our Apple Spice Syrup is the star of the show. A cinnamon and vanilla base with notes of pear and orange complements the smoothness of the vodka, the acidity of the lime juice, and the rich spiciness of the ginger beer. Follow our simple recipe below and be sure to stock up on this Apple Spice Syrup before the season ends.
Apple Spice Mule Recipe:
3/4 oz. Apple Spice Syrup from Sweetwater Syrups
2 oz. Vodka
3/4 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
3 oz. Ginger Beer
2 oz. Apple Cider or Pear Juice (optional but delicious!)
Lime Wheel or Wedge for Garnish
Ice
Add syrup, vodka, lime juice, apple cider or pear juice, and ginger beer to a copper mug. Stir until thoroughly combined, then top with ice. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge and enjoy.
Sweetwater Syrups Apple Spice Mocktail Recipe:
Prefer a nonalcoholic version? We've got you! Our Apple Spice Syrup is equally delicious as a mocktail. Simply omit or replace the vodka with a nonalcoholic spirit like CeroCero. You can find this spirit-free beverage through online retailers such as Amazon. A zero-proof spirit adds both body and depth to your drinks and feels like an indulgent way to stay alcohol free.
Substituting the vodka with anything is not totally necessary. This mocktail will be a hit even without a replacement for the spirits. But adding a zero-proof option does elevate the drink, creating something that feels celebratory, intentional, and carefully crafted to be just as special as the original recipe. If you choose to use a nonalcoholic spirit, we recommend using just one ounce to make your Apple Spice Mocktail.
