Ingredients:
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1/2 ounce lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 4 ounces Jamaican Choice Ginger Beer Soda
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedge for garnish
- Fresh mint sprig for garnish (optional)
Equipment:
- Copper mug (traditional but optional)
- Stirrer
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mug:
- Chill the copper mug in the freezer for a few minutes before preparing the drink. This will help keep your Moscow Mule cold and refreshing.
-
Mix the Drink:
- Fill the chilled mug with ice cubes to the top.
- Pour 2 ounces of vodka over the ice.
- Add 1/2 ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice.
-
Add Ginger Beer:
- Slowly pour 4 ounces of Jamaican Choice Ginger Beer Soda over the vodka and lime juice. The ginger beer adds a nice spicy flavor that complements the zesty lime and smooth vodka.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Stir the mixture gently to combine. Over-stirring can flatten the ginger beer, so just a few turns will do.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint if you like.
- Serve immediately, sipping directly from the mug.
This Moscow Mule recipe highlights the robust and fiery flavor of Jamaican ginger beer, making it an excellent choice for a hot day or a festive gathering. Enjoy the cool, spicy, and refreshing taste of this beloved cocktail!
