    Why I love this recipe

    This Pineapple Mule cocktail is a delicious drink to try when the weather warms up.

    The yummy mix of lime and pineapple juice combined with your favorite vodka, ginger beer, and bitters creates a drink idea that is perfect for sipping by a pool.

    A simple garnish of mint gives your nose a quick high-five as you bring the mug to your mouth.

    Trust me, that's something that you want. A nose high-five from fresh herbs is never a bad idea.

    This is a fruity, tropical beverage that is a must-try.

    Ingredients

    ingredient to make a Pineapple Moscow Mule
    What you need to make a Pineapple Mule.
    • vodka (whichever brand works for you)
    • pineapple juice (I use canned because it keeps for ages but you can use fresh, Trader Joe's make a great one)
    • fresh lime juice
    • ginger beer (I like Reeds)
    • bitters
    • mint (for garnish)

    I love this recipe because aside from the fresh lime juice, most of these ingredients can be found in your pantry.

    I always have these tiny pineapple cans around. I'm terrible about making sure that I have the ingredients on hand before I start a recipe!

    And if you need a little more direction with what type of vodka to use, read my post on the best Vodka for Moscow Mules.

    Directions

    Copper mule mug with ice in it next to other ingredients on a cutting board.

    Step 1

    In a copper Moscow Mule mug filled with ice, add vodka, pineapple juice, and lime juice.

    Step 2

    Top with ginger beer.

    Step 3

    With a bar spoon, give it a stir.

    Step 4

    Add 4 dashes of bitters.

    Tips

    • If you don't love vodka, swap it out with another liquor you like better! Tequila would be a tasty option.
    • Add other fruit flavors by muddling fresh fruit in the bottom of the Mule mug before adding the rest of the ingredients.
    • Make it even more tropical by adding a little coconut cream!

    And that is it! This tropical cocktail recipe really is that simple! Make a Pineapple Moscow Mule this weekend.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is there alcohol in ginger beer?

    While ginger beer was originally alcoholic, as it was made from fermenting ginger, sugar and water, most of today’s ginger beer doesn’t have alcohol in it. You’ll find most commercialized versions of ginger beer are used as a way to add crisp flavor to a drink rather than an extra hit of alcohol.

    What exactly are bitters?

    Bitters are alcoholic spirits that are infused with roots, herbs, fruits, and leaves. Bitters are a way to help balance flavors. And it works really well in Pineapple Moscow Mules to tone down the sweetness from the fruit juice. And you should also try Bitters and Soda. Super refreshing. Hardly any alcohol.
