If I am looking to enjoy my drinks as well as my night, but still want to keep it low carb I am most definitely making this Apple Cider Moscow Mule! I’m not even a fan of apple cider vinegar, in fact, I would normally refuse to drink it. But some simple ingredients transform the gross taste of vinegar into a heavenly, low carb cocktail! Make this drink any night of the week to let go of all that stress and indulge, guilt free.
The Perfect Fall Cocktail!
Honestly, I would drink this all year round. However, when the cold weather starts to kick in and you’re looking to get a little frisky, but don’t want to be holding a freezing cold drink this low carb, spicy version on the moscow mule could be your go to! I’ve personally never tried it warm, but I’m most positive you could warm all the ingredients, except the ginger beer on the stove top and then add in the ginger beer at the end. Warm, cinnamon and filled with vodka! What’s not to love?!
Aren’t We All Looking For Low Carb Drinks?
Let us be honest for a second, there aren’t a ton of great low carb beer options, especially when it comes to taste, wine can add up in carbs quickly and plain liquor can be dangerous. With that said, aren’t we all looking for low carb drinks that are delicious and won’t get us too easily drunk? Well, I can assure you this apple cider moscow mule is going to be your new best friend, but if this isn’t your cup of tea you can also make our low carb mojito or keto old fashioned! If you do always find yourself itching for a beer, check out our blog post and video with your best low carb beer options.
Apple Cider Moscow Mule
What I love most about this drink is how simple it is to make and how common the ingredients are. Maybe you’re thinking you’ve never seen diet ginger beer, but trust us, it’s there! We’ve seen it in multiple grocery stores as well as all liquor stores. However, if you truly are struggling to find it we know you can easily find diet ginger ale! That plus some fresh grated ginger and you’re in low carb cocktail heaven. You can even opt to leave out the cinnamon, but we think you’re going to at least want to give it one try – this apple cider moscow mule as we’ve made it really is the best low carb drink you’re going to ever make!

I love a Moscow mule, but this wasn’t one. It did, however, remind me of a shrub cocktail which I also enjoy. It didn’t taste like apple at all.
Whoa!! I did not realize how much I needed this cocktail in my life!!! Just saw this video yesterday, picked up diet ginger ale this morning, and Saturday day drinking is in full effect!! Ayyy!! ?
Making the “Velveeta style” Mac and cheese for dinner. Of course if the day drinking goes overboard, dinner will be Quest Tortilla Chips – LOL!!
OMG! So awesome! Loved this with the Zevia Ginger Beer. Next time, I may try just Zevia Ginger Ale and add some more grated Ginger. I also muddled some mint in my mug before I added the liquid mixture….was really good. I really have to limit myself to 2 of these….they really pack a punch with the vodka!~
Oh dear. This didn’t work out so well for me while serving it to friends. Would you kindly advise what kind of dishes to pair it with, taste wise? I myself was/am a little perplexed by the combination of cinnamon and lime. Thank you always.
Holy moly these mules are amazing!!!!! I did 1/2oz ACV, 1oz vodka, & squeezed 1/2 a lime in! SO GOOD!!! I have been looking everywhere for diet ginger beer & finally found it at Walmart by the mixers……Goslings Diet Ginger Beer! YUM!!! Thanks for the recipe, guys!! New fave!!
Very tasty!! I used Zevia’s ginger beer mixer and it worked very well ?
Great video. First one I’ve seen. I’m new to Keto (7 days) and know I am not supposed to drink yet, but the apple Moscow mule caught my attention! Good stuff guys!
Hey Guys!
I love the updates on gaining muscle. Some people say that you can’t put on muscle while in Keto so it’s nice to see you guys are getting results.
This is a fun one! It’s cool to see keto drink recipes. I’ve seen so many bloggers focus on the idea of avoiding alcohol entirely. But, some of us still like our drinks from time-to-time.
Your recipe looks great.
This is delicious! On my second one. Finally have a use for the Moscow Mule mug I received a couple of Christmases ago. Chopped in some fresh ginger, yum!
Hey, you guys, you’re slipping. ZEVIA makes Ginger Beer. I find it in Natural Grocers where I live. Not everyone who sells Zevia carries the Ginger Beer, though. 🙁 I’ve also made my own low carb ginger beer.
