This strawberry mule is completely refreshing. It’s maple-sweetened (with a easy syrup choice) with citrusy lime juice, spirited with vodka and spicy ginger beer. It’s additionally naturally gluten-free and vegan.
This strawberry cocktail has all of the essence of spring and summer time. It’s candy and barely fizzy, with a kick of ginger to make a well-balanced, pretty cocktail.
I lately posted this Strawberry Latte, which is a espresso drink with a strawberry twist and this
Strawberry Matcha Latte. I apparently determined I used to be missing in strawberry drinks, so right here’s one other. 🙂
What’s a mule?
The Moscow mule, most well-known for being served in a shiny copper mug, was invented within the Forties to get rid of some overstock of vodka and ginger beer. The one different factor you have to make a Moscow mule is a few lime juice.
At present, we’re including a candy twist of strawberries to sweeten it up and to make it extra fruity.
What’s ginger beer?
Ginger beer is a carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage produced by the pure fermentation of ginger, yeast and sugar. It originated in England and dates again to the mid-18th century.
At present, yow will discover ginger beer that incorporates alcohol, normally labeled alcoholic ginger beer.
Until you need to supercharge the alcohol content material on this drink, I’d follow the non-alcoholic model.
Can I exploit ginger ale as an alternative?
Ginger ale is much less spicy than ginger beer however extra carbonated. Relying in your desire, you possibly can use ginger ale in case you like extra fizz and sweetness.
In case you use ginger ale, cut back the maple or easy syrup and add it to style, as it’d make this cocktail too candy.
Contemporary or frozen strawberries?
Each work nice. In case you use frozen strawberries, simply thaw them a bit earlier than mixing to get a easy drink with out frozen chunks.
In case you went berry choosing and have plenty of strawberries to make use of up, I’ve a number of strawberry recipes that may assist you to with that.
Right here’s How one can Make Strawberry Jam, and these Strawberry Oat Bars are one other nice choice. This Strawberry Applesauce makes use of 4 cups of strawberries and the one different ingredient is apples, so it’s tremendous straightforward.
Large batch
This cocktail is ideal for gatherings. You possibly can simply quadruple the recipe.
Simply mix the strawberries and add the opposite substances (minus the ginger beer) to a pitcher, and whenever you’re able to serve, high off every glass with the ginger beer.
Copper mug
In case you’ve had a mule earlier than, you’re most likely conversant in the copper mug. Copper is extremely conductive and chills the drink over ice to make a really frosty drink.
However to {photograph} this cocktail, I a lot want to see the colour of the cocktail than only a copper mug.
When you’ve got a copper mug, you’ll be able to undoubtedly use it.
What sort of vodka?
You need to use no matter vodka you want. I usually go for a mid-range vodka that’s comparatively cheap.
Sweetener
I like naturally sweetening my cocktails with maple syrup. However if you need, you need to use easy syrup as an alternative.
Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium warmth to make easy syrup. Stir till the sugar dissolves. Let it cool, and pour it right into a glass jar with a good lid.
It’ll hold within the fridge for a couple of weeks.
Can I make this mule with out alcohol?
Certain! Simply pass over the vodka, possibly cut back the sweetener by a bit, and have a strawberry mule mocktail.
Extra refreshing cocktails
I hope you’ll take pleasure in this strawberry mule! In case you strive it, please let me know within the feedback the way it turned out. Thanks! 🙂
