A raspberry mule is a refreshing cocktail that comes together with just a few ingredients! The raspberry simple syrup can be made in advance, making it a great prep-ahead cocktail that will impress your guests.
What is in a Raspberry Moscow Mule
- Raspberry simple syrup- made with fresh raspberries and equal parts water and sugar
- Lime juice- for added freshness
- Vodka- traditional in a Moscow Mule
- Ginger beer- this is my favorite brand
How do I make raspberry simple syrup?
Raspberry simple syrup is made by simply boiling equal parts raspberries, sugar, and water until the sugar is completely dissolved. I then strain it to remove the seeds. You can make it up to a few weeks in advance. It is a key ingredient in this recipe but if you are in a pinch, you can also muddle a small handful of raspberries at the bottom of your drink for some raspberry flavor.
How do I make a virgin raspberry mule?
A non-alcoholic version would be delicious! Omit the vodka and add a splash more of ginger beer.
