Get into the spirit of the season with this spiced seasonal drink! Mix delicious, sweet apples with dark bourbon to create a perfectly-balanced apple butter cocktail.

In this Apple Butter Bourbon Mule you'll find apple cider, bourbon, lime juice, apple butter, and ginger beer. Apple butter may sound like an odd addition to a cocktail, but it is a game changer! With a mixture of brown sugar and pumpkin spices, it's the perfect alternative to using simple syrups.

The taste is similar to a traditional Moscow Mule, but with a spicier and sweeter blend due to the addition of the apple butter. Sip your way into autumn bliss!
