The near-equal parts of apple cider and ginger beer create a harmonious blend that is both invigorating and seasonally appropriate, making it a perfect **fall mule cocktail** for any gathering.
For an even more autumnal flair and to truly keep you toasty, consider using a hard apple cider, replacing the plain vodka with an apple or caramel-flavored variety, or changing the base spirit entirely to bourbon or Fireball.
