Moscow Mule🌿

-

The Moscow Mule is a refreshing, zesty classic cocktail with a spicy ginger kick. Perfect for summer sipping, parties, or casual happy hours.

Prep time: 3 minutes Servings: 1 (easily multiplied)

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz vodka
  • 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 3 oz fever tree ginger beer
  • Fresh mint sprig (optional garnish)

Equipment

  • Copper mugs 

Instructions

  1. Fill your copper mug or glass with crushed ice.
  2. Add the vodka, then the lime juice, and top with ginger beer.
  3. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig. Enjoy!

Pro Tips for the Best Moscow Mule

  • Use fresh lime juice for the brightest flavor — bottled works in a pinch but isn’t as good.
  • Crushed ice is key for that signature chill and dilution.
  • Ginger beer (not ginger ale) gives the proper spicy bite.
  • For extra aroma, slap the mint sprig between your hands before garnishing.
  • Make it a pitcher for parties by multiplying the ingredients and serving over ice.

This crisp and refreshing Moscow Mule is always a crowd-pleaser! Let me know in the comments your favorite vodka to use or how you like to customize it.

    A lot of mules are a bit too much whether it is too sweet or too much alcohol. These were the most refreshing mules I have ever had. Highly recommend!
