Kicked by A Kentucky Moscow Mule

In my anticipation of Fall
I have been on the look-out for a good Fall cocktail drink.
One thing I love to do is try different cocktail drinks.
I knew that I finally found one when
I came across this cocktail that
had all the makings of a good Fall cocktail.

Maple Apple Cider Kentucky Mule
It called for fresh Apple Cider, Maple Syrup,
Bourbon and Ginger Beer.
What speaks Fall more than those flavors,
beside Pumpkin Pie of course.
Ginger Beer?
Have you ever heard of Ginger Beer?
I hadn't until my co-worker mentioned that
his wife wanted him to pick up some Ginger beer
because she was sick with an upset stomach.
It makes sense, ginger is a great natural remedy
to help sooth an upset stomach.

I already had  most of the ingredients on hand.
I just had to purchase the Fresh Apple Cider and Ginger Beer.
And before you knew it I had whipped up this
wonderfully flavored Fall cocktail.
And to make it a special Fall cocktail,
how can you not put it in a chilled copper mug?
Besides, Moscow Mules call for a chilled copper mug.

Hubby's not a Bourbon lover but he sure liked this cocktail.😋
If you are going to make one of these cocktails,
you must use the Original Imported Crabbies Ginger Beer.
Don't sacrifice the taste by using ginger flavored beer, it is NOT the same.
It's a simple recipe that mixes up quickly.
Simply combine all ingredients together, stir and pour
into a chilled copper mug over crushed ice. Garnish with an
apple and lime slice. To give it that over the top taste,
throw in a cinnamon stick. Although this cocktail
tastes great without the cinnamon stick, it really does
give that extra kick to this cocktail.
Hubby was amazed that you can't even taste the alcohol in this drink.
He thinks I hit it out of the ballpark with this drink!
That speaks volumes coming from him who turns
his nose up at bourbon.
We don't mind being kicked by this kind of mule!

Cheers!
