Apple cider Moscow Mules.

I love a good Moscow Mule in a chilled, frosty copper mug.

Just me? A few years ago I shared my first mule. It was a late fall/early winter cranberry version, but this year I was playing around with the idea of an apple cider version and well, this now makes 3 Moscow mule recipes on simply scratch.
