Notes

This recipe is easy to adjust.

For a less sweet version, skip the ginger syrup. To make it boozy, add an extra half ounce of vodka. For a mocktail, leave out the vodka and use more ginger beer.

You can prep the blueberry mixture ahead of time. Just add the ginger beer when ready to serve. This drink is best enjoyed fresh, as the carbonation from the ginger beer will fade over time.

Try using different berries like raspberries or blackberries for variety. You can also swap vodka for gin or white rum to create new flavor combos.

Substitute

Can’t find blueberries or ginger beer for your Moscow Mule? No problem! There are tasty alternatives to try.

Instead of blueberries, use blackberries or raspberries. These berries add a similar fruity flavor and pretty color to the drink.

For the ginger beer, ginger ale works in a pinch. It’s a bit sweeter and less spicy, but still gives that gingery kick. You can also mix club soda with a splash of ginger syrup.

No copper mugs? Any tall glass will do. Mason jars or highball glasses are good choices. They keep the drink cold and look nice too.

If you’re out of vodka, try white rum or gin. These spirits mix well with the other flavors. For a non-alcoholic version, skip the liquor and add extra ginger beer or club soda.

Fresh lime juice is key, but bottled lime juice can work if needed. In a real pinch, a splash of lemonade adds citrus flavor.
