When the weather warms up, we love making a Strawberry Moscow Mule! Adding fresh strawberries and mint gives this cocktail a new look and taste!
You can set up a Moscow Mule bar! Get some bowls of fresh fruit and herbs, and plenty of ice. Put out a variety of cocktail glasses. If you can, get some Sonic crushed ice! We love adding crushed ice to these cocktails.
We used strawberries in this recipe, but blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, watermelon chunks, and fresh pineapple would be wonderful additions. You can use a variety of herbs. Of course we love mint, but you could also add lemon balm, rosemary, basil and thyme!
Lastly, have ginger beer, light ginger beer, and have some sparkling water, for anyone that wants to really lighten things up.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove the hulls from 2 of the strawberries, and muddle in a cocktail shaker. Slap the mint, to release the oils, and add to the strawberries and muddle. Add in the strawberry orange juice, the lime juice, and the vodka. Add a few ice cubes and shake.
- Add crushed ice to a tall glass. Pour the cocktail into the glass, straining, but allowing a bit of the strawberry pieces into the drink. Leave enough room for the ginger beer. Add the chilled ginger beer, and garnish with a strawberry and a sprig of mint!
