Apple-Ginger Mule Mocktail

French Chef Mohamed Cheik swaps out vodka for apple juice to create a zero-proof Mule.

As alcohol-free drink options increasingly go mainstream, this zero-proof drink is a must-try. A twist on the traditional Mule cocktail, apple juice replaces vodka and lime is muddled with fresh thyme. Top with ginger beer and you have a glass full of bright flavours.
