Elderflower Moscow Mule Cocktail Recipe
This Elderflower Moscow Mule mixes the crisp, spicy punch of ginger beer with floral elderflower liqueur for a seriously refreshing drink. Here’s what you’ll need and a few tips to make it work at home—no stress.

- 4 oz ginger beer chilled
- Ice cubes enough to fill the mug
- Lime wedges or wheels for garnish
- Fresh mint sprig optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a copper mug with ice cubes.

Notes
I stick to copper mugs because they keep things frosty and just feel right. Want it sweeter or more floral? Add a little extra elderflower liqueur.
If you’re skipping alcohol, swap in elderflower syrup for the liqueur and leave out the vodka. Like it extra fizzy? Just pour in more ginger beer.
Fresh ingredients and decent spirits make all the difference, in my opinion. Enjoy your Elderflower Moscow Mule—just, you know, don’t overdo it.
