A traditional Moscow Mule starts with vodka and has some lime and ginger beer in there. It is a classic cocktail served in a copper mug that you will love over and over again. But if you are a gin lover, then this Moscow Mule with gin will be over the top for you. This gin gin mule cocktail, also known as a London Mule, is easy to make and will capture your heart. If you make this Moscow mule with gin or any of my other cocktails, leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Mint: Unlike the traditional Moscow Mule, we start by muddling some fresh mint leaves, much like you do in a Mojito. Gin: Bombay Saphire is always my preference for gin cocktails, but use a gin that you enjoy the flavor of. Simple syrup: I love to use my own recipe, but you could always buy a bottle. Lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice is always best for cocktails. Since Moscow mules are usually garnished with lime wedges anyway, buy a few limes for fresh lime juice for this recipe. Ginger beer: I use ginger beer with alcohol, but you can also find and use ginger beer that is not alcoholic. I’ve also used ginger ale in a pinch, which results in a sweeter cocktail.
Muddle fresh mint. Gently muddle the mint leaves, simple syrup, and lime juice in your glass or copper mug until combined. Add gin. Fill the glass to the top with ice, then pour in your favorite gin. Top with ginger beer. Give it a gentle stir and garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge.
If you love bourbon, you will love this Kentucky Mule. This Tequila Mule is a favorite of mine that I know you are going to love, too! It doesn’t get a whole lot better than Frozen Moscow Mules. And can we talk about this Jalapeño Moscow Mule for a minute? It really is everything.
