Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 2 ounces vodka
- 2 ounces apple cider
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 3 ounces ginger beer
Garnishes
- 1 rosemary sprig
- 1 apple slice for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the mug: Fill a copper mug with ice cubes to chill the drink properly. If a copper mug is not available, any sturdy glass will work just fine to serve this cocktail.
- Mix the drink: Pour in the vodka, apple cider, lime juice, and ginger beer directly over the ice in the mug. Stir well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Add a sprig of rosemary and a fresh apple slice to the mug for a festive and aromatic garnish. Serve immediately to enjoy the cocktail at its freshest.
Notes
- Using a copper mug helps keep the drink colder for longer, enhancing the refreshing taste.
- Adjust the amount of ginger beer based on your preferred level of spiciness and sweetness.
- Fresh lime juice is recommended for the best flavor, but bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the vodka with extra apple cider or a sparkling water.
