Refreshing Raspberry Moscow Mule Cocktail 

If you love raspberries, ginger beer, or lime cocktails that are as pretty as they are delicious, this Raspberry Moscow Mule is calling your name.

With zingy ginger beer, fresh lime juice, and a burst of juicy raspberry flavor, it’s the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and refreshing. The best part? It’s totally customizable—make it stronger, sweeter, or even skip the booze for a refreshing mocktail. However you mix it, this ice-cold summer cocktail is made for sunny afternoons and good vibes.

This recipe came to me during raspberry season. I was making my Classic Moscow Mule and had an idea for all my extra raspberries … and so the Raspberry Moscow Mule was born. Perfect for summer pool parties, with my baked brie with jam or my Rotel dip. 

What Makes a “Mule”? 

Very few drinks are so famous that they warrant their own cup, and the mule is one of them. A classic “mule” has three main components: vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer. For another fun twist on the classic, try my Kentucky Mule – it has all the ingredients of the traditional Kentucky mule, it just swaps the vodka for some good old-fashioned bourbon.  

Ingredient Highlights for Your Raspberry Mule Cocktail Recipe

• Vodka – We love Titos, it is our favorite vodka for cocktails. I recommend using plain vodka but you can use raspberry vodka for an even stronger raspberry flavor. 
• Ginger Beer – we used Fever Tree for this recipe. If you want to skip the simple syrup you can use ginger beers with higher sugar content.

Ingredients

• 6-8 Fresh Raspberries
• ½ oz Simple Syrup
• Ice
• 2 oz Vodka
• 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice (about ½ a lime)
• 4 oz Ginger Beer, chilled
• Lime wedge and raspberries for garnish

Instructions

1. In your copper mug (or a highball glass),
   gently muddle the raspberries. You want to release their juice and flavor, but
   avoid crushing them completely into a paste.
2. Pour the simple syrup over the muddled
   raspberries.
3. Fill the mug with ice.
4. Add the chilled vodka and fresh lime juice to
   the mug.
5. Gently pour the chilled ginger beer. Avoid
   pouring too vigorously to prevent excessive fizz.
6. Give the drink a gentle stir to combine the
   ingredients.
7. Garnish with a lime wedge or a few fresh
   raspberries.

Notes

Start with ½ oz of simple syrup and add more
to taste.

Skip the vodka and add extra ginger beer and a
splash of sparkling water to make it a mocktail.

Frozen Raspberry Moscow Mule: Blend all ingredients (except ginger beer) with ice until smooth. Pour into a copper mug and top with ginger beer.
