Recipe Ingredients

  • 1½ cups ice

  • 2 cups sparkling water
  • Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
  • Lime slices, for garnish
  • Lemon slices, for garnish

How To Make Giada Moscow Mule Kit

Prepare the Moscow Mule Kit

  1. Shake and Serve: Add ¼ cup of the mint-flavored vodka, ¼ cup of the ginger syrup, and ⅓ cup of the sparkling water. Shake and pour into a tall glass or flute. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs, lemon slices, and lime slices just before serving.

Make the Mint-Flavored Vodka

  1. Infuse the Vodka: Pour the vodka over the mint and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for at least 3 days. Remove the mint and discard. Store in the freezer indefinitely.

Make the Ginger Simple Syrup

  1. Cook the Syrup: Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool, about 20 minutes. Strain the syrup and pour into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. It will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Recipe Tips

  • Spice It Up: Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to give your Moscow Mule a warm, autumnal twist, which complements the lime and ginger beer flavors beautifully and adds a delightful complexity to the drink.
  • Garnish Game-Changer: Swap the traditional lime wedge for a slice of orange or grapefruit to introduce new citrus flavors and a pop of color, making the drink feel fresh and exciting even for Moscow Mule aficionados.
  • Vodka Variations: Experiment with different vodka flavors, like citrus or berry-infused, to create unique twists on the classic recipe and cater to personal taste preferences, ensuring every guest finds a favorite.
  • Fizz Fix: If your ginger beer has lost its fizz, simply stir in a splash of ginger ale or club soda to rejuvenate the drink’s effervescence and revitalize the flavors, guaranteeing a refreshing Moscow Mule experience.
  • Batch Beauty: Prepare a large batch of the Moscow Mule mixture ahead of time, minus the ginger beer, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, making it easy to whip up individual drinks as needed and perfect for parties.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use plain vodka instead of mint-flavored vodka?

While you can use plain vodka, the mint flavor is essential to the Moscow Mule’s unique taste. If you don’t have mint-flavored vodka, you can make your own by infusing vodka with fresh mint leaves.

How long can I store the ginger simple syrup?

You can store the ginger simple syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It’s also a great make-ahead ingredient, so you can prepare it well in advance of your gathering.

Can I use diet ginger ale instead of ginger simple syrup?

While diet ginger ale might seem like a convenient substitute, it will alter the flavor profile of your Moscow Mule. To get the authentic taste, it’s best to use the ginger simple syrup.

How do I garnish my Moscow Mule?

Garnish with a fresh mint sprig, a lime slice, and a lemon slice just before serving. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the drink.
