To say our staff is full of Moscow Mule experts is an understatement. Yes, we know how to make the best damn original Moscow Mule you’ve ever tasted. Yes, we know copper mugs. Yes, we know how to stock a home bar the right way. We know a lot.
But we don’t know it all.
When it comes to creative alternatives to the Moscow Mule, it’s best to turn to the experts in food & drink recipes. That’s why we’ve gathered together four amazing food & drink bloggers to share with us their favorite twist on the delicious Moscow Mule. Here’s what they came up with:
Blackberry Moscow Mule
First up is Sharon from What The Fork. She shared with us this AMAZING twist on the Moscow Mule using, you guessed it– blackberries! The great thing about Sharon’s Blackberry Moscow Mule recipe is that it uses highly accessible ingredients that you will certainly find at your grocery store. So no need to hunt down rare and expensive ingredients– this Blackberry Moscow Mule recipe is a fantastic go-to recipe for a tasty, refreshing Moscow Mule at a moment’s notice!
Fresh Ginger Moscow Mule
Simone from Zenbelly went in a completely different direction. Specializing in whole-food, clean recipes, Simone whipped up a Moscow Mule recipe with 100% REAL foods and flavors. For example, she developed a recipe for the ginger syrup to use specifically for her Moscow Mule recipe. Yes, a recipe within a recipe!
Because this contains all the standard and traditional flavors in a Moscow Mule, it’s technically an original Moscow Mule recipe, just with fresh, real ingredients. For a truly artisanal experience at home, check out Simone’s recipe for a fresh ginger Moscow Mule.
Clean Apple Pie Moscow Mule
Our friends at Blissfully Lively came up with a great healthy superfood Moscow Mule that tastes perfect and is super easy to make with the help of Verday Chlorophyll Water.
Low in sugar, includes healthy ingredients and is absolutely delicious! Perfect combo! Check out their Clean Apple Pie Moscow Mule recipe, which utilizes some of the most creative and delicious garnish combinations we’ve ever seen on a Moscow Mule!
Peach Basil Moscow Mule
Whitney over at WhitneyBond.com and host of 29-Minute Meals was gracious enough to share with us her THREE favorite Moscow Mule recipes.
Her first is this delicious recipe, a Peach Basil Moscow Mule. While delicious anytime anywhere, this drink just tastes like summer– there’s no denying it. The peach is a distinctly summer fruit, and the earthy kick of basil complements the overall flavor profile. With a few other tweaks to the standard ratios as well as alternative garnishes, this is a great Moscow Mule recipe!
Grilled Pineapple Moscow Mule
Whitney’s second Moscow Mule recipe is — wait for it — yes, GRILLED PINEAPPLE! How does one even infuse this flavor into an already tasty cocktail?
Pineapple is one of those fruits thats tastes delicious by itself, and compliments even the strangest foods. Pizza? Sounds nasty but actually delicious. In a salad? Oddly refreshing. On chicken? Adds an interesting tang. Into a Moscow Mule? DUH!
Do yourself a favor and check out Whitney’s recipe for a Grilled Pineapple Moscow Mule.
Sparkling Grapefruit Gin Mule
Last but certainly not least is a recipe Whitney developed that, frankly, didn’t even seem like it fit into the Moscow Mule category. Yes, it’s that creative! But once you take a sip of this, you’ll instantly recognize it as a Moscow Mule– except dare we say even more refreshing and slightly more, how do you say, luxurious?
Of the six ingredients in this recipe, only one is found in a traditional Moscow Mule. We don’t even want to spoil the surprise on what’s in here, or how it all works together, so just go check out her Sparkling Grapefruit Gin Mule and never look back.
