A friend gifted us these lovely mule mugs a few months back. I immediately ordered ginger beer, an important ingredient in making Moscow Mule cocktails, but somehow, the order got delayed, and I got it only last week. To start with, I tried this virgin version of the cocktail. Mohit and I loved it, so now I am confident about trying out other versions as well. I will share them as I make more, but for now, here is the Virgin Moscow Mule recipe for you all!
About Virgin Moscow Mule
Moscow Mule is a popular cocktail made with ginger beer, vodka, mint leaves, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Virgin Moscow Mule Mocktail is a version of this drink with no alcohol (vodka) added. It is traditionally served in copper mugs, also called mule mugs. The copper mug keeps the drink extra cold and enhances its flavor and aroma. It has sweetness from ginger beer, a zingy taste from lemon juice, a fizz from club soda, and a refreshing flavor from mint leaves. This non-alcoholic mule mocktail is easy to make, needs simple ingredients, and comes together in 5 minutes. Enjoy it on a hot day, or make it for a baby shower, summer brunch, get-togethers, potlucks, or house parties. Please do not confuse it with ginger ale. Ginger beer is nonalcoholic, less sweet, and has a more gingery flavor than ginger ale. The choice of ginger beer can greatly affect the flavor of your Virgin mule recipe. Some popular options include brands like Fever-Tree, Q Mixers, and Bundaberg. Choose one that suits your taste preferences. Mint Leaves – Use fresh mint leaves for a refreshing flavor. Lemon Juice – For the best taste, Use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice is a no-no here. You can replace lemon juice with lime juice. Chilled Club Soda (Sparkling Water) – Top the virgin mule with club soda to make it fizzy. Sugar Syrup – Adjust it as per your taste. You will also need a few lemon wedges or lemon slices, mint sprigs, and lots of ice. Fill a copper Moscow mule mug with ice. Pour in the following ingredients and stir well.
½ cup of chilled ginger beer ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 tablespoon sugar syrup
Top with chilled club soda. Garnish with lemon rounds and mint sprigs. Serve and enjoy!
