Moscow Mules are such a classic, easy cocktail that satisfy every time. Not to mention they are seasonally versatile so you can make them year round and they will always be appropriately refreshing. This time I wanted to take the mule to the next level by adding another ingredient: blueberry syrup. 😃
Don’t be intimidated the blueberry syrup is easy as pie! And totally worth it when you pour over the top and your guests oooo and ahhh in astonishment at your legit bartender status. Who needs a cocktail bar when you have a fancy Blueberry Moscow Mule pregame?! Which is what we did….naturally… 🍸😜🍸 Careful though, the intense ginger flavor (especially if you get Fever Tree) masks the alcohol taste EXTREMELY well haha so these little guys can creep up! Just a warning hehe.
Ingredients:
1 bottle vodka
1 pack ginger beer (Fever Tree is the best in my opinion)
4 limes
1 mint bunch
1 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup water
Process:
- Make the blueberry syrup by bringing the ingredients (water, blueberries, sugar) to a boil for 5 minutes, then let it simmer for another 10 minutes until it thickens, then let cool.
- Pour 1.5 shots vodka into glass
- Fill rest of glass with ginger beer (about 1/2 cup worth)
- Squeeze 1/2 lime in each glass and give it a couple stirs
- Add in the ice and then pour a little blueberry syrup on the top
- Clap 1 mint sprig between palms to release oils and then garnish cocktail with mint and blueberries
Roll up your sleeves and get going! In fact, I am going to take my own advice and make some right now before I head off to the Treasure Island Music Festival. 😊🎉 Like I said… who needs a cocktail bar when my own kitchen is a blueberry mule haven.
So I think I’ll sit on the deck now and enjoy a few before the tunes slash with some tunes haha – and youuuu should too…Happy Sippin’ Sunday everyone!
