Spiced Apple Moscow Mule

Spiced Apple Moscow Mule with Headwind Vodka

Today is #NationalVodkaDay and we’ve put together the perfect recipe to celebrate with! The Moscow Mule is one of our favorite cocktails. They are traditionally made with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice, then garnished with a slice or wedge of lime and mint. When you think of the fall, you often think of cinnamon spice and visiting apple orchards. We’ve combined all the things we love about the classic Moscow Mule with some fall flavor favorites to create the Spiced Apple Moscow Mule and we hope you enjoy!

HeadWind Vodka

While this recipe can be made using any vodka, we decided to use HeadWind Vodka due to it’s high quality and awesome flavor profile. Headwind Vodka is crafted in the heart of Portland, Oregon to capture the forward-thinking and adventurous mindset of the Pacific Northwest. You can learn more about them by visiting their website.
