Apple Cider Cocktail

Apple Cider Cocktail is made with just 3 ingredients; apple cider, Captain Morgan Sliced Apple Rum, and ginger beer. Makes for an easy and festive fall cocktail!

We had some friends over recently and I wanted to make a fun, new fall drink to pair with my Fall Charcuterie Board. I saw this new Captain Morgan Sliced Apple Rum and thought apple rum sounded like the perfect fall cocktail! Apple cider is a must this time of year. I mostly drink apple cider iced, but sometimes like it hot on a chilly day. Do you prefer apple cider cold or hot? For this recipe, I wanted an iced drink as the temperature is still pretty warm. For now…

I love the combination of the apple flavor and ginger beer. The drink is very similar to a Moscow Mule but with fall flair. It really is a very simple, but festive drink.

Ingredients

If you don’t have ginger beer or don’t like the taste, you can use seltzer water or ginger ale instead.

What is Captain Morgan Sliced Apple Rum?

Captain Morgan just came out with a new product called Captain Morgan Sliced Apple Rum. Which is a spiced rum flavored with juicy, crisp apple. It makes a delicious fall drink that can be found in a liquor store near you.

If Captain Morgan Sliced Apple Rum is not available, you can use spiced rum.

How to Make an Apple Cider Cocktail

  1. Fill a Moscow mule mug or highball glass about halfway full with ice.
  2. Pour in 2-2.5 ounces of Captain Morgan Sliced Apple Rum.
  3. Add in 3-3.5 ounces of apple cider.
  4. Top with 2-3 ounces of ginger beer.
  5. Stir and adjust to taste. Top with sliced apples.

Cheers to fall and sweater weather!

I have made this drink both in a high ball glass and a Moscow mule mug and I do recommend the mule mug. It keeps it cold longer and doesn’t water the drink down.
