A copper mug filled with a Maple Orchard Mule mocktail, garnished with a thin apple fan and a fresh rosemary sprig, set against a rustic wooden background.

Ingredients

3 oz fresh apple cider
1/2 oz real maple syrup
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
4 oz spicy ginger beer
Crushed ice
Thin apple slices for fan garnish
1 sprig fresh rosemary

Instructions

Fill a copper mug or highball glass with crushed ice.
In a separate mixing glass, combine the fresh apple cider, real maple syrup, and fresh lime juice.
Stir the mixture vigorously for 15 seconds to ensure the maple syrup is fully dissolved and integrated.
Pour the cider and maple mixture over the ice in the prepared mug.
Top the glass with the spicy ginger beer.
Gently stir once with a bar spoon to combine the layers without dissipating the carbonation.
Arrange the apple slices into a fan and place them on top of the ice, then tuck in the rosemary sprig for aroma.
