With fresh lime, spicy ginger beer and your favorite vodka, this is the BEST Moscow Mule recipe for you to make! Garnished with fresh mint, this refreshing vodka cocktail is a great classic recipe to make at home.
Slap a sprig of mint in your palm (to release some of the oils) and garnish your drink.
Drink up.
Notes
Once you learn this classic recipe you can create all kinds of delicious variations!
Try to use fresh lime juice if at all possible. The flavor is so bright and fresh and it's my favorite cocktail ingredient. If you don't have any fresh on hand, you can absolutely use Rose's lime juice which is easy to keep on hand in your home bar.
I like to pre-squeeze my lime juice and have it ready to go so I can make a few of these easily.
Try to have all the ingredients chilled ahead of time. That will ensure a super refreshing cocktail.
Do not substitute the ginger beer with ginger ale. It is too sweet and doesn't have the same ginger kick.
Before adding the mint to the drink (and I like to go heavy with the mint because I love the smell so much!) clap the sprig between your hands twice. This helps to release the oils and make it smell even more!
