Pomegranate Moscow Mule Cocktail Recipe
I love making a refreshing Pomegranate Moscow Mule. It’s a mix of tangy pomegranate juice, spicy ginger beer, and zesty lime in a shiny copper mug. This drink is simple to make at home with a few key tools and ingredients.
Equipment
- A copper mug is essential as it keeps the drink cold and adds to the experience.
- A jigger helps measure out the liquids precisely.
- You’ll also want a shaker to mix everything thoroughly.
- Don’t forget a spoon for stirring and a citrus juicer for squeezing fresh lime juice.
- Lastly, a strainer can help keep unwanted pulp or ice shards from getting into your mug and messing up the drink's texture.
Ingredients
Gather your goodies! You’ll need:
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 oz pomegranate juice
- 1 oz lime juice fresh is best!
- 4 oz ginger beer
- Ice cubes
For that extra fancy touch, get pomegranate seeds and lime wedges for garnish. I love how these small additions make the drink look as fabulous as it tastes.
Instructions
- Start by filling your copper mug with ice.
- Pour the vodka over the ice using your jigger to keep measurements accurate.
- Add the pomegranate and lime juice, then give it all a good stir with your spoon.
- Now, it’s time for ginger beer. Pour it in slowly from the side to keep the fizz.
- Stir gently to combine everything without losing bubbles.
- Add pomegranate seeds and lime wedges on top as a garnish.
Notes
If you like things less sweet, choose a spicy ginger beer instead of a sweeter one. Feel free to adjust the amount of lime juice depending on how tangy you like it.
For a non-alcoholic twist, swap vodka for soda water to keep the refreshing taste without the booze. Plus, this drink is versatile. Have fun trying out different garnishes to impress friends and family, like using fresh mint leaves or candied ginger pieces for a twist.
