A fresh and fruity spin on the classic Moscow Mule recipe, these strawberry Moscow mules cocktails are made with fresh berries, lime juice, and mint. For a spicy kick, you can choose to infuse your simple syrup with jalapeños if you wish.
Moscow Mules are one of my favorite cocktails for entertaining. Refreshing and citrusy with a kick of ginger and sweetness, they are always a crowd favorite. Throughout the year I love to change up the traditional Moscow Mule recipe by adding in various seasonal ingredients. If you love a Moscow mule, try my cranberry Moscow mule, pomegranate Moscow mule or a spicy apple cider mule. If you like to experiment with your cocktails like I do, then you’ll love these Strawberry Moscow Mules!
Ingredients
- Strawberries: Naturally juicy, sweet, and bright!
- Mint: Mint sprigs add another level of sweet, earthiness to the cocktail. Fresh ingredients go a long way when it comes to herbs!
- Lime: The acidity and bright citrus flavor of the lime juice contributes to the classic mule flavors.
- Vodka: Clean, smooth, and strong.
- Ginger beer: A strong punch of ginger flavor, if you don’t like ginger so much, you can use ginger ale for a milder taste.
- Simple syrup: I like to infuse my simple syrup with jalapeño as the kick of heat balances out the fruity, sweetness of the cocktail. But you can skip the jalapeño if you don’t like spicy!
- Club soda: Makes the mule fizzier!
How to Make Strawberry Moscow Mules
Start your strawberry Moscow mules by making your simple syrup. You could also use store bought, but I like to make my own because I can control how sweet it ends up being.
Once the water and sugar are fully combined and the sugar is dissolved, add the sliced jalapeño. Or you could infuse it with fresh ginger or mint!
Remove from heat, and strain into a bowl. Set aside to let cool to room temperature.
While simple syrup is cooling, starting preparing the cocktail by taking your lime wedges and fresh mint leaves and putting them in the bottom of a pitcher. Muddle with a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon.
Next add your strawberries slices to the pitcher.
Then add in the vodka, simple syrup, and ginger beer and stir to combine.
Fill your cups with ice and then pour the vodka mixture into each. Since I love my cocktails to be on the fizzier side, I like to top each glass with a splash of club soda right before serving.
Garnish with additional lime slices or mint sprigs, serve, and enjoy your Strawberry Moscow Mules!
