Cider Recipe: Pear Cider Mule

We love this zesty pear cider mule, a ray of sunshine in a glass, with the sweetness of pear playing beautifully off the herbaceous mint and the kick of ginger beer. Mint, one of the most hearty leafy herbs, will grow happily in any season on a windowsill. That way, no matter the weather, there is something green and alive waiting to perk up drinks and dishes! Crack open a can of your favorite pear cider — modern or heirloom perry, your choice — and shake up a round or two of these for you and a friend to say cheers to warmer days ahead.
