If you are like me, you love a cocktail that feels like a little celebration. My raspberry Moscow mule recipe is the perfect mix of fruity sweetness and ginger spice, all served up in a chilled copper mug. It’s simple, stunning, and absolutely delicious.

Why I love this recipe

  • It is super easy to make but looks like I spent ages on it, which is perfect for impressing guests.
  • The raspberry sweetness mixed with the zing of ginger beer creates such a unique and delicious combination.
  • I can customize it endlessly by adjusting the sweetness, swapping the vodka for another spirit, or even turning it into a mocktail.
  • Serving it in a chilled copper mug not only keeps it icy cold but also makes the whole experience feel extra special.
  • The bright red raspberries make it a total showstopper, as it is as beautiful as it is tasty!

Ingredients

  • vodka – pick your favorite, I usually use Tito’s
  • lime juice – fresh if possible but bottles works too
  • honey – adds sweetness naturally but you can substitute simple syrup
  • fresh raspberries – you can substitute frozen raspberries but choose fresh when possible for the best flavor
  • ginger beer – Fever Tree is my go-to but Goslings is a close second

Not a fan of ginger beer? If it is too strong for you substitute ginger ale and omit or reduce the honey as it is already sweetened.

Step by step

  1. Combine vodka, lime juice, honey, and raspberries with ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake it like you mean it!
  2. Strain the mixture into a copper mug filled with crushed ice.
  3. Top with ginger beer and garnish with a few raspberries.

Tips for best results

  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor. Frozen works in a pinch, but fresh is unbeatable.
  • Shake the cocktail well to break down the raspberries and fully combine the flavors.
  • Use crushed ice as it chills the drink quickly and gives that signature Moscow Mule texture.
  • Always top with ginger beer for the perfect fizzy finish.
  • Serve in a chilled copper mug if you can as it keeps the drink icy cold and looks amazing.

Variations

If you are looking to elevate the flavor, toss in some fresh mint leaves or even a sprig of rosemary for a fragrant herbal touch. You can even switch up the garnishes with lime wedges or candied ginger for an extra pop of color and flavor.

You can also try substituting the honey for Chambord or another kind of raspberry liqueur to play with the flavor.

Serving suggestions

If serving a crowd you can easily make this mule in large batches and prep ahead of time. Mix everything but the ginger beer up to a day in advance. Add the ginger beer just before serving.

If you are entertaining, this cocktail goes well with light party appetizers like spicy candied pecans, blueberry caprese skewers, or maple baked brie.

    1. Thank you for catching that, I had ginger beer in the instructions but not the ingredient list. I have corrected that. You top it with ginger beer after pouring it in the cup.
