  • 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Garnish: Apple slices and/or cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Chill your copper mugs before starting.

Notes

  • For a batch recipe, mix the vodka, cider, and lime juice ahead of time. Keep this mixture chilled. When serving, pour the mixture over ice in mugs and top each serving with ginger beer.
  • If you want a spicier drink, use a ginger beer with a higher ginger content.
  • Using fresh lime juice makes a noticeable difference in the final flavor balance.
