Cocktail Friday Basil Citrus Mule

I am a huge fan of herbs – as in, I always have fresh herbs growing in the garden which lets me throw them into absolutely everything I can! And this basil citrus mule is no exception – it is one of my favourite creations for our month of mules!

We’ve added blood orange liqueur and fresh orange juice to this mule – giving it a tangy citrus mix. It’s delicious for either Summer or Winter weddings with a balance of your favourite citrus flavours which add a refreshing vibe to the classic favourite.

Ingredients:

  • 15 ml lime juice
  • 2 fresh citrus wedges (orange or lime)
  • 30ml fresh orange juice
  • 10ml Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur
  • 30ml vodka
  • Ice
  • Ginger beer
  • Basil leaves

Method:

In a cocktail shaker, muddle together lime juice, fresh citrus wedges, orange juice, a basil leaf (or two according to taste), Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur and vodka to combine the flavours.

Strain into a copper mug over plenty of ice and top with cold ginger beer.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
