We served this Apple Pie Moscow Mule Mocktail on Halloween and a few times since, and it’s always a hit! Choosing quality ingredients makes all the difference, and be sure not to skimp on the apple butter or lime juice. Let me know if you give it a try! (comment below or @raeannkelly)
NON-ALCOHOLIC APPLE PIE MOSCOW MULE
A mocktail that tastes like apple pie, is the perfect amount of sweet, and doesn't leave you missing the alcohol… sign me up! This recipe makes 2 drinks, but can easily be batched for larger festivities and would be a great addition to anything from tailgating to Thanksgiving dinner!
Serves 2 generous drinks
YOU’LL NEED:
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 cup apple cider (non-sparkling)
- 2 tablespoons apple butter
- *apple pie spice, to taste (see notes)
- non-alcoholic ginger beer, to taste
- sparkling water, to taste
- thinly sliced apple for the garnish
- ice
HERE’S HOW:
- In a cocktail shaker or jar with lid, add ice, lime juice, apple cider, apple butter, and a pinch or two of apple pie spice. Shake until well combined (approx. 1 minute).
- Add ice to two serving glasses or copper mugs. Strain apple cider mixture into prepared glasses. Top with ginger beer and sparkling water, to your desired sweetness. I usually do half and half, but the more ginger beer, the sweeter the drink will be. Garnish with sliced apples and a sprinkle of apple pie spice. Serve and enjoy… cheers!
Notes
*To make your own apple pie spice, combine 4 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon allspice. Mix together and store whatever you don’t use in an airtight container!
Love this set of kitchen tea towels, and they have so many cute ones for Christmas!
Will be working on a couple non-alcoholic recipes for Christmas if you have any suggestions or requests!?
