This delicious and refreshing Fall cocktail recipe is a must-make and a must-try! Apple Cider Moscow Mules are the perfect combination of sweet with a little bite. It looks and tastes incredible and is the perfect Festive Fall cocktail treat!
Anyone else feel like apples get the short-end of the stick this time of year? It’s always pumpkin EVERYTHING! Taking the boys apple picking in the Fall has easily become one of my favorite traditions along with making my Grandma’s Apple Crisp or Apple Goodie Bake! But apples don’t only have to be in the form of a yummy dessert. Why not a cocktail?! Prairie Organic Vodka is perfect for any time of year, but when you’re entertaining in the Fall & want to make a super simple cocktail that not only tastes divine, but also looks incredibly scrumptious, I have The Most Perfect Fall Cocktail You Need to Try this Season – an Apple Cider Moscow Mule!
APPLE CIDER MOSCOW MULES: THE MOST PERFECT FALL COCKTAIL YOU NEED TO TRY
This cocktail checks all the boxes. Sweet, sparkling, earthy and fresh. Plus the scent of the cider and cinnamon just screams Fall! Not only is this cocktail such a great twist on the original Moscow Mule, but this particular recipe includes such a stellar vodka selection.
Prairie Organic vodka has quickly become a favorite in our household. Especially after my batch of Salty Dog cocktails this Summer!

Now let’s get to this cocktail recipe!
APPLE CIDER MOSCOW MULE INGREDIENTS:
- 1-1.5 oz. Prairie Organic Vodka
- 4 ounces Apple Cider
- 2 ounces Ginger Beer
- dash of fresh squeezed lime
- ice cubes
- apple slices, cinnamon stick and sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish
APPLE CIDER MOSCOW MULE DIRECTIONS:
First fill your copper Moscow Mule mugs 1/2 – 3/4 full of ice cubes.
Then, pour your mixture into the copper mug. Gently squeeze a halved lime to the mug. After that, notch one apple slice with a knife and place it on the rim of the mug.
Next, add one cinnamon stick and a dash of cinnamon to the top of the apple cider Moscow mule for a beautiful and festive garnish.
It really does add that extra special touch to an already delicious Fall cocktail!
I have to say I’m hooked on these things! And having such a high quality bottle of vodka on-hand to whip one up when friends or family are over makes Fall entertaining a piece of cake. The kids love having a gallon of cider in the fridge and Mom and Dad have their fav add-ins to go with it!
What is your favorite “festive” Fall cocktail?
If you haven’t tasted this yet, I promise it’s the most perfect Fall cocktail you need to try this season! I think we’ll be making a batch of these over Thanksgiving. And I’m confident they’re going to go over pretty well 😉
I’ve even made these Apple Cider Moscow Mules as a big batch and served them in a beverage dispenser. The apples, limes and cinnamon sticks look so pretty floating in the top!
