I say this with possibly every new cocktail I share, but this deep, dark, spooky Moscow mule is one of my favorites to date. It’s quite unique with an added splash of Chambord, as well as fig jam (or use apple butter). These simple additions create the yummiest version of a mule. I’m so in love with the flavors. I also added slices of candied ginger for double the amount of gingery spice. This really is delicious!
Notes…
What’s awesome about a Moscow Mule is that it’s one of the least fancy drinks around. A traditional mule is simply vodka mixed with lime and topped with ginger beer. There’s really nothing to it! Today’s additions can be added as you desire. The must-have ingredients are vodka, pomegranate juice, lime, and ginger beer. Of course, I recommend adding everything else in the recipe, but if this is all you prefer to use, that’s great too!
Here are the details
Step 1: fill a cocktail glass with ice I used coupe glasses for a fancy, spookier feel. But a traditional Moscow mule mug is perfect too. Or, use your favorite rocks glass. Step 2: shake it up In a cocktail shaker – or use a glass jar, shake the vodka, raspberry liquor, pomegranate juice, lime, fig jam, and ginger. Shake to mix. Then add ice and shake until chilled. Strain into your ice-filled glass or mug. Step 3: add ginger beer Pour the ginger beer overtop. Now add a small spoonful of pomegranate arils (seeds). If desired, you can take a couple of fresh sage leaves, burn them, and place them on top. It’s an extra finishing touch, but a magical spooky one! Looking for other spooky cocktail recipes?
