Apple Crisp Mule

This autumnal Apple Crisp Mule is a spin on the classic mule and brings together smooth bourbon, fresh lemon juice, a warm rosemary cinnamon simple syrup, and Olipop’s Apple Crisp soda for a fizzy, spiced, and perfectly balanced drink that tastes like your favorite fall dessert, only boozier.

If mules are your thing, or you’re just craving something that screams fall vibes, this cocktail layers warm spice, citrus snap, and bourbon richness into one cozy copper mug. The homemade rosemary cinnamon syrup adds an aromatic herbal twist that’s unexpected and totally addictive, while the apple crisp soda delivers crisp, nostalgic sweetness in every sip. This Kentucky Mule with Maple Ginger Syrup is also amazing!

🥘 Key Ingredients:

• Bourbon: Go with a smooth, full-bodied bourbon like Woodford Reserve or Buffalo Trace for depth.
• Lemon Juice: Fresh-squeezed for brightness and balance.
• Rosemary Cinnamon Simple Syrup: Simmered with brown sugar, rosemary, and cinnamon—worth the effort.
• Ollipop Apple Crisp Soda: Bubbly and lightly sweet, it delivers classic fall flavor without being overpowering.

🥂 How to make this cocktail:

1. Step 1: Start by making the cinnamon rosemary syrup: 1 cup water, 1 cup light brown sugar, 3 rosemary sprigs, 3 cinnamon sticks. Simmer all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let steep for 10–15 minutes. Strain and let cool completely before using.

2. Step 2: Then add 2 ounces of bourbon, juice from ½ lemon, and ¼-1/2 ounce of the simple syrup to a large rocks or Collins glass filled with ice.

3. Step 3: Then top with 4 ounces of Olipop Apple Crisp.

4. Step 4: Garnish with rosemary, cinnamon, and apple slices.
