We love a tasty Moscow mule cocktail, so we thought a variation of the traditional favorite would be fun! Our angry mule cocktail maintains the integrity of a beloved ingredient (ginger) with a hearty kick of apple flavor and cinnamon spice.

The beauty of this cocktail is that there is plenty of give and take on the quantity of each ingredient—say, less cinnamon or more apple—you can go easy on the infused cinnamon whiskey or add more apple cider.

You can get fresh ginger from the store and add zest to the mix. Just watch our quick video on simple techniques to easily peel and grate ginger!

Two mugs with an angry mule cocktail, a twist on a classic drink.
