Notes
Important Notes:
The cocktail is best served right away due to the ginger beer, which is carbonated. If you need to prep it ahead of time, I suggest mixing the apple cider, lime juice and vodka then waiting to add the ginger beer and ice until you are ready to drink it.
Van Gogh vodka is one of the only vegan caramel vodkas. Be sure to research your caramel vodka before buying. You can always use regular vodka, and add caramel vegan syrup.
If you cannot find or use apple cider, apple juice my be used it its place. You may, however, want to add fall spices, such as cinnamon, cloves and allspice to make it feel more festive.
Adjust the ABV level by omitting or reducing the amount of vodka.
