So, it is officially fall. The Autumnal Equinox happened at 9:29 CST on Monday, and I have been relishing in all the fall glory since. This has always been one of my favorite times of year, but for some reason this year I was counting down the minutes until fall. Perhaps it was because I couldn’t wait to start enjoying all the fall foods, or start wearing my favorite fall clothes, or maybe it is because snuggling on the couch reading books with my littles is one of my favorite things to do. Doing it in the summer is just not the same.
With Autumn comes great drinks, and last year I was all about the hot beverages, but since it is still quite warm out, I thought I would try some cooler refreshing beverages to start out Fall right. So, for this THIRSTY THURSDAY, I am switching up one of my new absolute favorite cocktails, the Moscow Mule, and have created an Apple Whiskey Mule.
Apple Whiskey Mule (makes one)
1/2 of lime juiced
1 tsp sugar
2 oz Irish whiskey
4 – 6 oz Hard Apple Cider (I used Angry Orchard Apple Ginger)
Ice
Apple Slices for Garnish
In a copper mug or glass, add ice to chill.
In a cocktail shaker add lime juice, sugar, whiskey, and ice and shake until well combined (about 30 seconds). Pour into mug or glass and top with cider.
Garnish with apple slices and serve.
Happy Autumn, Readers!
