Hey, Reader!
I don't think it's any surprise that Moscow mules are a fan favorite. They are one of my top requested recipes and everyone goes crazy for the many variations.
Plus, mules have no season. They're refreshing in the summer, spicy enough to warm you in the winter and absolutely delicious every day of the year. There's even the champagne mule to celebrate a special occasion!
Mules are a perfect option for at-home bartenders because:
- They're easy to make, with the classic calling for just 3 ingredients.
- They're easy to customize. Prefer it a little sweeter? Need more spice? Can do!
- They're basically magic — adding a little muddled fruit or swapping the spirit transforms them into a totally new drink!
Whether you already love mules or need a nudge in the right direction, here are the recipes you need to try.
classic moscow mule
The classic recipe hits every time. With sweet and spicy ginger beer and a touch of zesty lime juice plus vodka, you really can't go wrong here.
apple cider moscow mule
Light and festive, this drink was made for fall sipping! I love the combo of bright, crisp apple flavor and spicy ginger beer — it's like autumn in a mug.
mexican mule
Take your sipper south of the border with ginger beer, lime and your favorite mezcal or tequila. It’s gingery, citrusy, smoky and spicy — everything a good tequila cocktail should be!
blueberry mule
Fruit is an easy way to change up the classic mule recipe. Blueberries add a touch of color and sweetness, but why stop there? You can use your favorite fruit for a fun twist.
kentucky mule
The Kentucky mule may just be one of my favorite mule variations. With the tangy taste of lime juice, bubbly texture of ginger soda, and smooth flavor of bourbon it’s just the best!
You can use zero-proof spirits or skip the alcohol entirely to transform any of these recipes into a virgin mule. Since there's plenty of flavor, you won't miss the booze! Make it a party by serving some Moscow mule jello shots or mule cookies (complete with vodka-lime frosting). They pack all the flavors of the drink into a fun vessel everyone will love!
Hopefully you're convinced that a mule is just the spice you need in your life!
