Trying to beat the summer heat, or looking to have a fun time with your Friends & Family, which one is it? This cocktail pitcher covers it all. A cool fresh cocktail, blended with ginger & mint, this Moscow Mule is a treat to your thirsty taste buds. Ginger AleAlso known as Ginger Beer, this is a fizzy drink which you can get at your local stores. If using a heavier more sweeter Ginger Ale, like Schweppes, please reduce the quantity by 20-25 % and substitute the same with water instead. However, if you're using a lighter version of Ginger Ale, like Sepoy or Fever Tree, use as per the prescribed recipe. Fresh IngredientsI can't stress this enough, use fresh ingredients only to not compromise the freshness in this cocktail. Did I say fresh too many times? Try and use freshly plucked mint, fresh lemon juice, and grated raw ginger, to maximize the blend of sweet & sour flavors. Liquor Like most Moscow Mules, this recipe too uses Vodka! There are not a lot of substitutes but here, but off the top of my head, you can use White Rum (Bacardi) instead. Moving onto the recipe now:
Ingredients
- 200 ml Your Favorite Vodka (don't measure if you don't want to)
