Description

The charm of Haunted Orchard Mule is in the contrast: familiar flavours, but with enough shape to make it memorable. The bubbles are not just there for decoration: they lift the aroma, stretch the sweetness and make Vodka, Spiced Apple Cider and Ginger Beer feel lighter in the mouth. That is why the drink lands so well as an aperitif, a brunch serve or a first drink before food.

Keep the build cold and avoid over-stirring after the fizz goes in, because the sparkle is part of the flavour.
