This apple pie Moscow mule is so fun for fall! It still has that classic ginger flavor, but I amped it up with apple cider and apple pie vodka. With just 3 ingredients, this cocktail is super easy to make. It’s perfect for parties, and is one of my favorite festive drinks!

It’s officially fall, so that means it’s time for apple pie cocktails. I always love anything that tastes like apple pie, so allow me to introduce you to the apple pie Moscow mule! I love Moscow mules—the super cold copper mug, refreshing ginger beer, how very customizable they are—so much to love. And guess what, apple and ginger are a match made in heaven.
Tips for Beginners
- I highly recommend shaking this cocktail rather than stirring. It helps blend the flavors together.
- Do not add the ginger beer to the shaker. The bubbles will cause the shaker to leak everywhere.
- These cocktails are best enjoyed immediately.
- Copper mugs are worth investing in if you love mules. Not only do they look super pretty, but they help keep your drink icy cold.

How to Make Apple Pie Moscow Mule Step by Step
Combine apple cider and apple pie vodka: Fill two copper mugs with crushed ice. In a cocktail shaker, combine 4 oz. apple cider and 4 oz. vodka. Shake to combine. Pour half of the apple cider mixture into each mug.
Add ginger beer: Top each mug with 6 oz. ginger beer until full.
Garnish and serve: Garnish with cinnamon sticks and apple slices.
How to Store
If you want to prep these in advance, you can combine the apple cider and the vodka and add the ginger beer just before serving. Once the beer has been added, it is best to drink it as soon as possible. If you do have leftovers, you should drink them within 24 hours, though the beer may get flat and your drink won’t be fizzy.
Serving Suggestions
You can, of course, enjoy these fall Moscow mules as they are, but I love to add a couple of cinnamon sticks and apple slices. Just before you take a sip, you get all of those wonderful aromas.
Apple Pie Moscow Mules just beg to be served with fall-inspired snacks like apple chips, or pumpkin hummus. For a heartier snack to munch on with the cocktail, I’ll make a batch of hot honey chicken wings.
Could you do a large batch recipe like you did for the margarita. 24 servings
Yes, but wait to add the ginger beer until just before serving!
I know this is an old post, but with New Years coming I wanted something new. Do you think it would be possible to make this using green apple vodka and just adding cinnamon or apple pie spices in a jar?
We think it could work, but it would definitely not be as apple-y! You could try regular apple juice instead of cider!
Excited to make this! How many ounce ginger beer should be used?
Thank you for sharing! Where do you find the apple pie vodka? I’ve had a challenging time finding this.
We just get it at our local grocery store, Pearl, Firefly, and Ole Smoky all have versions. Smirnoff has an Apple Vodka that would work well. You can also try our easy Homemade Apple Pie Vodka!
Is it the non-alcoholic ginger beer you are adding – or the actual ginger beer?
Yum! I’m on a mule kick right now, so I pinned to add to my collection. Hopefully I can try it soon!
This recipe sound delicious. I have to try all of these Moscow mule recipe. Thanks to share this wonderful post with us.
yum! What a great idea! I was obsessed with the caramel vodka and apple cider two years ago when you made the sangria… I think it’s time to revisit it and buy a new bottle :)
This looks great for Halloween or Thanksgiving! Yum!
I am an absolute sucker for anything containing ginger beer and apples (separately or together ;) ) so these are obviously going to have to happen ASAP. Yum!!!!
