Bolly Bully Non-Alcoholic Mule Mocktail Recipe

I like making this drink because it’s refreshing and simple.

Ginger beer, lime juice, and mint come together for a crisp, lively flavor—especially in a copper mug packed with crushed ice.

Equipment

• Copper mug or any sturdy glass (I’ll admit, the mug keeps it colder and just feels right)
• Muddler to press the mint leaves and get those oils out
• Bar spoon for stirring without killing the fizz
• Jigger or a small measuring cup to keep things balanced
• Citrus juicer for squeezing real lime juice
• Ice crusher or just a sturdy bag and mallet for crushed ice
• Small strainer if you want to avoid mint bits floating around

Honestly, the right tools make things easier and keep the drink consistent.

The copper mug isn’t essential, but it really does make a difference.

Ingredients

• 4–6 oz ginger beer (non-alcoholic, not ginger ale)
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• ½ oz simple syrup (sweeten to your taste)
• 6–8 fresh mint leaves
• Crushed ice (enough to fill the mug)
• Optional: 1 oz ginger ale if you want a lighter fizz
• Lime wedge and mint sprig for garnish

I always reach for ginger beer instead of ginger ale—it just has more bite.

Fresh-squeezed lime juice is a must; bottled stuff just doesn’t cut it.

Instructions

• Fill your copper mug halfway with crushed ice.
• Add the mint leaves and gently muddle them at the bottom.
• Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup.
• Slowly add the ginger beer so it doesn’t foam over.
• Stir gently with a bar spoon to mix things up.
• Top off with more crushed ice if you want.
• Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.

I usually stir just enough to combine everything but not so much that I lose all the bubbles.

The garnish isn’t just for looks—it adds a little extra freshness too.

Notes

Ginger beer gives this mocktail a spicy depth that ginger ale just can’t match.

If you’re after something lighter, try mixing in a splash of ginger ale.

The copper mug keeps the drink cold, but honestly, any glass will do if you don’t have one.

Crushed ice chills the drink quickly and gives it that perfect texture.

This mocktail just screams summer—cool, fizzy, and not too sweet.

Tweak the simple syrup to your liking, and always go with fresh lime juice for the best flavor.

Tasting Notes

That first sip? Honestly, it felt crisp and really refreshing—almost like my taste buds woke up. The ginger hit with a gentle warmth, pairing nicely with the cool fizz.

Lime jumped out immediately. Its tartness sliced right through any sweetness and kept everything feeling bright.

I caught a soft herbal hint from the mint. That fresh note just made every sip feel a bit cleaner and smoother.

The flavors just kind of fell into place:

• Ginger: spicy, though it never tried to take over
• Lime: sharp and citrusy
• Mint: cool, pretty subtle
• Sweetness: light, thankfully not cloying

The bubbles really lifted everything. Carbonation gave the drink a lively feel, but it never got harsh.

After swallowing, the ginger stuck around for a moment. That gentle heat faded out slowly, which I actually enjoyed.
