Raven Social's Michigan Mule

Bottoms Up
March 8, 2025

Cadillac’s Raven Social is all about crafting an experience. That could mean going all in on Halloween costumes, planning a special drink menu to pair with a Cadillac Footliters show, or using Michigan-made ingredients to enhance their menu and their cocktails. See their craft in action with the Michigan Mule ($13), a twist on the popular Moscow-inspired beverage. This version still uses vodka, lime, and ginger beer, but also adds Cinnamon Girl cider from Traverse City’s Left Foot Charley winery and cidery. (Cinnamon Girl is made with Old Mission Peninsula apples and whole cinnamon sticks.) The local touch makes the drink a little cozier, a touch sweeter, and a whole lot more memorable. Stop in and order a copper mug of the good stuff at 119 S Mitchell St. in Cadillac. theravensocial.com
