Holding rosemary moscow mule.

A Moscow Mule is one of my favorite cocktails. They are extremely refreshing and delicious, and if you’ve been with me a while, you know I’ve experimented with this cocktail before. This time I’m throwing a more herby taste into the mix with my Rosemary Moscow Mule. Super easy to make at home, you’ll be relaxing, drink in hand in no time.

Ingredients

  • Lime: Tart and acidic citrus flavor with just a hint of sweetness.
  • Simple syrup: Store-bought or homemade, it adds sweetness to balance the tart and sharp flavors of the alcohol and herbs.
  • Rosemary: Fragrant, earthy herb that pairs wonderfully with mint, and is a seamless add to the classic Moscow Mule.
  • Mint leaves: A tender, sweet, aromatic herb, it’s essential you use fresh mint leaves to extract the flavor.
  • Vodka: While the intensity depends of the quality of vodka, it has a somewhat spicy taste.
  • Ginger beer: Strong, ginger flavor while being slightly spicy to pair with the vodka.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why do you drink Moscow Mules out of a copper mug?

The copper takes on the cool temperature of the drink, keeping your drink cold. It also enhances the flavor of the vodka!

Can I use ginger ale in a Moscow Mule?

You can, the flavor just isn’t as strong as a ginger beer.

Can I make Moscow Mules ahead of time?

Yes you can! The only thing I would wait to add is the ginger beer, as it’ll lose it’s fizz if opened too far in advance.
