Equipment

Ice bucket

Ingredients

2 ripe mangoes peeled and cubed
24 fresh mint leaves plus extra for garnish
2 cups vodka
1 cup fresh lime juice about 8-10 limes
4 cups ginger beer chilled
Ice cubes
Lime wheels for garnish

Instructions

Puree the mango chunks in a blender until smooth. Then, strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove pulp.

Add mint leaves to the pitcher and muddle gently to release oils.
Pour vodka and lime juice into the pitcher. Then, add the strained mango puree.
Stir the mixture well with a cocktail spoon to combine all ingredients.

Just before serving, add the chilled ginger beer and stir gently.
Fill copper mugs with ice and pour the cocktail mixture over top.
Garnish each drink with mint sprigs and lime wheels.

Notes

Keep the ginger beer separate until ready to serve to maintain carbonation. The mango-vodka base mixture can be made up to 24 hours ahead and stored in the fridge.

Fresh mangoes work best, but frozen mango chunks can work in a pinch. Just thaw and drain before pureeing.

For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka with club soda or additional ginger beer.

Tasting Notes

The Mango Mint Mule Pitcher Cocktail brings a bright, tropical twist to the classic Moscow Mule. The sweet mango puree balances perfectly with the spicy kick of ginger beer.

Fresh mint leaves add a cool, refreshing note that complements both the mango and ginger flavors. The lime juice provides a tangy brightness that cuts through the sweetness.

Each sip starts with the sweetness of mango, followed by a zingy ginger heat. The finish is clean and crisp with hints of cooling mint and citrus.

The copper mug tradition enhances the drinking experience by keeping the cocktail ice-cold. This helps maintain the drink’s fizzy, effervescent texture.

Key Flavor Notes:

Sweet mango
Spicy ginger
Fresh mint
Tart lime
Light carbonation

Texture: Smooth and velvety with a gentle fizz from the ginger beer. The mango puree creates a silky mouthfeel without being too thick.

The drink remains balanced even as the ice melts, making it perfect for slow sipping on warm days.

Substitute

Want to make this cocktail without some ingredients? Here are easy swaps that work well.

No fresh mango? Use 1 cup mango nectar or frozen mango chunks instead. The drink will still taste great.

Replace vodka with gin or white rum if needed. Each gives the drink its own unique twist.

No ginger beer? Mix equal parts ginger ale and club soda. This creates a similar fizzy spice that matches well with the mango and mint.

Fresh mint can be swapped with 2-3 drops of mint extract. Start with less and add more to taste.

Short on lime juice? Lemon juice works too. Use the same amount the recipe calls for.

Pro tip: For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and add extra ginger beer or soda to fill the pitcher.

A quick guide to the main swaps:

Mango → Mango nectar or frozen mango
Vodka → Gin or white rum
Ginger beer → Ginger ale + club soda

Fresh mint → Mint extract
Lime juice → Lemon juice
