How do you make an Apple Cider Moscow Mule?

Apple Cider Moscow Mule

First of all, let’s look at the classic Moscow mule. According to this New York Times article, the Moscow Mule is the cocktail that really introduced vodka to the United States.

It was first invented in 1941 and is a mixture of vodka, ginger beer and lime. 

What most people know about the Moscow Mule is that it is almost always served in a copper mug. 

Why does a Moscow Mule have to be in a copper cup?

Not only do copper mugs look cool, they serve a purpose too.

They keep the drink cool and they help infuse the lime and ginger flavors so much that many Moscow Mule fans will not consider any other receptacle for their cocktail.
