Name: Raspberry Vanilla Vodka Mule Cocktail Recipe
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 2 oz vanilla vodka; 6 fresh raspberries; 4 oz ginger beer; 1/2 oz fresh lime juice; Ice cubes; Extra raspberries and lime wedge for garnish; Fresh mint sprig (optional garnish)

A refreshing twist on the classic Moscow Mule brings spring flavors to life in this easy-to-make cocktail.

This raspberry vanilla vodka mule recipe combines fresh raspberries, vanilla-infused vodka, and zesty ginger beer to create a perfectly balanced drink that takes just 5 minutes to prepare.

The pink hue from muddled raspberries adds a beautiful color while the vanilla vodka brings warm, sweet notes that complement the spicy ginger beer. Any brand of vanilla vodka works well, though making it at home with a vanilla bean takes this drink to the next level.

This drink shines at springtime gatherings and summer parties.

The recipe makes one serving but can be doubled or tripled to fill a pitcher for entertaining guests.

Copper mugs keep the cocktail ice cold, though any tall glass works too.

Ingredients

2 oz vanilla vodka
6 fresh raspberries
4 oz ginger beer
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
Ice cubes
Extra raspberries and lime wedge for garnish
Fresh mint sprig optional garnish

Instructions

Add raspberries to the shaker and muddle them gently until broken down.
Pour in the vanilla vodka and lime juice.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.
Fill a copper mule mug with fresh ice.
Strain the mixture into the mug through a fine mesh strainer.

Top with ginger beer and stir gently.
Garnish with fresh raspberries, a lime wedge, and mint sprig if desired.

Notes

The drink tastes best with fresh raspberries, but frozen ones work in a pinch. Just let them thaw first.

Store-bought vanilla vodka works great, or make your own by steeping a vanilla bean in plain vodka for 3-5 days.

Keep the ginger beer cold for the best fizz. Flat ginger beer will make the drink too sweet.

The copper mug keeps the drink colder longer and adds to the traditional mule experience.

Tasting Notes

The Raspberry Vanilla Vodka Mule brings a bright, sweet aroma of fresh raspberries and warm vanilla to the nose. These scents blend well with the spicy ginger beer notes.

On first sip, the smooth vanilla vodka creates a gentle warmth. The tart raspberry flavor follows quickly after, creating a pleasant balance with the sweetness.

The ginger beer adds a zesty kick and pleasant fizz that carries through each sip. Its spice helps cut through the fruit and vanilla notes without taking over.

Key Flavor Notes:

Fresh raspberry tartness
Smooth vanilla undertones
Spicy ginger heat
Light citrus from lime
Pleasant carbonation

The drink stays crisp and refreshing from start to finish. The flavors remain distinct yet work together, making it easy to enjoy multiple sips.

The copper mug helps keep the drink cold and adds a slight metallic note that enhances the ginger beer’s bite. A light pink color and floating fresh raspberries make this cocktail visually appealing.

Substitute

Need to make this drink without some ingredients? No problem. Here are easy swaps that work well.

Raspberry: Use blackberry, strawberry, or blueberry instead. Fresh or frozen fruit both work great.

Vanilla Vodka: Regular vodka plus 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract makes a good replacement. Plain vodka alone works too.

Ginger Beer: Ginger ale creates a sweeter, less spicy version. Mix half ginger ale and half club soda for a drink that’s not too sweet.

Lime: Lemon juice works as a backup choice. Use the same amount the recipe calls for.

Skip the alcohol completely by using extra ginger beer and a splash of vanilla-flavored sparkling water. This makes a tasty non-alcoholic version.

Want it stronger? Add an extra 1/2 ounce of vodka. For less alcohol, cut the vodka amount in half.
