We are kicking off one of our favourite months of the year (hello Autumn colours!) with a month of mules! Moscow mules are one of my own favourite cocktails to whip up on an easy weekend and we’ve come up with four fun Moscow mule recipes to inspire your own mule making. Served in a signature copper cup, a Moscow mule also makes a beautiful wedding cocktail and what better place to start than with the classic?

I also have to tell you, I think the best tasting Moscow mules come down to an amazing ginger beer (being Australian, my vote obviously goes to Bundaberg Ginger Beer which really nails the ginger flavour) and a good balance of lime and mint.

Ingredients:

  • 15 ml lime juice
  • 2 fresh lime wedges
  • 3 bruised mint leaves
  • 50ml vodka
  • Ice
  • Ginger beer

Method:

In a copper mug, add plenty of ice (I love 4-5 ice cubes in this cocktail for extra cold deliciousness!) In a cocktail shaker, add your limes, lime juice, mint and vodka and muddle together.

Pour this mixture into your copper mug and top with your favourite ginger beer. Stir.

Garnish with mint leaves.
