1 oz Fresh lime juice
Ginger beer to top off

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Crown Royal Whiskey: This bourbon adds depth and character. You can substitute with any smooth whiskey.
Green apple juice: It brings a tartness that is essential. Apple cider can be a sweeter alternative.
Fresh lime juice: Freshly squeezed enhances the flavor. Bottled lime juice will work in a pinch.
Ginger beer: It adds a bubbly kick. Regular soda can be used, but it won’t have the same spice.

How to Make Crown Green Apple Mule

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass

Start by chilling your highball glass or copper mug in the freezer. This keeps your drink cold and refreshing longer.

Step 2: Measure the Ingredients

Using a measuring jigger, pour 2 oz of Crown Royal Whiskey into your cocktail shaker. Accurate measurements make a balanced drink.

Step 3: Add Apple Juice

Next, add 1 oz of green apple juice to the shaker. This juice is key for that characteristic tartness.

Step 4: Add Lime Juice

Now, squeeze in 1 oz of fresh lime juice. This adds a zesty brightness that complements the apple perfectly.

Step 5: Shake It Up

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds. This chills the mixture and melds the flavors beautifully.

Step 6: Strain Into Glass

Remove your chilled glass and strain the mixture into it. This keeps your drink smooth and free of any pulp.

Step 7: Top Off with Ginger Beer

Top your drink off with ginger beer, filling it to the rim. The bubbles provide a delightful fizz that enhances the drinking experience.

Step 8: Garnish and Serve

Finally, garnish with lime wedges and apple slices. It adds a nice visual touch that makes your drink even more inviting.

Pro Tip: Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor; it makes all the difference!
