Strawberry Moscow Mules
A unique spin on classic Moscow Mules, this strawberry version is a lower sugar cocktail recipe
Ingredients
For One Strawberry Moscow Mule:
- 2 ounces vodka adjust to taste
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 4 ounces ginger beer
- 2 ounces strawberry simple syrup see recipe below
For Serving:
- fresh mint leaves
- lime wedges
Strawberry Simple Syrup:
- 4 cups fresh strawberries chopped
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
Instructions
Prepare the Simple Syrup
- Heat all ingredients for the strawberry simple syrup (except pure vanilla extract) in a saucepan over medium heat. Cover and bring to a full boil, stirring occasionally. When strawberries begin to soften, mash them with a fork. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook at least 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool to room temperature. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, discarding the strawberry pulp or save it for a smoothie or muffin recipe. Store simple syrup in an air-tight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Make the Moscow Mules:
- Fill a shaker with ice and add the ingredients for one Moscow Mule. Shake well and serve in a copper mug filled with ice with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint.
