Strawberry Moscow Mules- a spin on traditional Moscow Mules: Ginger Beer, Lime, Vodka, & Strawberries make the perfect combination for this warm weather drink!

Last month I had a big girl’s weekend with 10 of my good friends. It was so much fun, lots of good company, good food, and good drinks. My friend, Stacey, had been raving for months about this ‘Moscow Mule’ cocktail that she was obsessed with. So, naturally, when we went out she ordered it. I was intrigued to try it, because she said it was ginger based, and I love ginger anything. I was shocked when I tried it, because for one, it didn’t even taste alcoholic, and two, it was DELICIOUS. I found myself ordering Moscow Mules all weekend, probably way too many in fact, but I knew when our weekend was over, I wanted to go home and put my own spin on the classic Moscow Mule. After I did, I came up with this delicious Strawberry Moscow Mule which is perfect for drinking anytime, but especially summer!

The key to making a great Moscow Mule, is making sure you have REAL Ginger Beer- not ginger ale which a lot of DIY at home recipes call for. There is a difference, Ginger beer is brewed and fermented while ginger ale is essentially a carbonated beverage made from water and ginger. Ginger beer often has much more of a "gingery" flavor and because it's fermented, is less carbonated. Ginger beer is great because it actually doesn’t have any alcohol (you have to add that to get the Moscow mule), and it has WAY less sugar than Ginger Ale. My favorite brand of Ginger Beer is Gosling’s, and I usually pick it up at my local package store (liquor/beer store for those who don’t reside in the south). In a pinch you could use Ginger Ale, but I highly recommend you get the real Ginger Beer for your make at home Strawberry Moscow Mules.

Anyway, making your own Moscow Mules is super easy- only 3 ingredients, and then any additional fruit or add on’s if you want to make it a special Mule. These drinks are seriously so refreshing and tasty! You have to be extra careful though, since they don’t have an overwhelming alcohol flavor, you can easily find yourself drinking one too many! Most places serve the Moscow Mule in a fancy Moscow Mule Copper Mug

, but if you don't have them at home, that's okay!
