This fruity and spicy ginger-peach Moscow Mule is a refreshing way to get your cocktail fix!
A Moscow mule is a cocktail made with vodka, spicy ginger beer, and lime juice, finished with a slice or wedge of lime. This flavor-filled cocktail was invented in the 1940’s and is a staple on most cocktail menus today. You’ll find many varieties of the Moscow Mule from the traditional version to flavors using cranberry, apple cider and even with different alcohols like tequila.
This cocktail is terrific for serving at parties, because it’s so appealing to the palate and a sure crowd pleaser. It’s also incredibly easy to make with very little prep work involved.
Ginger beer is alcohol free and has more of a real ginger flavor than ginger ale soda. The spice of ginger is much more prominent in ginger beer. You can find varieties of ginger beer that are extra spicy or more mild. Look for sugar-free ginger beer sweetened with natural sweeteners like erythritol, Monk Fruit or stevia.
A Peachy Twist on the Classic Mule
Peach Ginger tea crystals are made with English breakfast black tea. The base of this tea has the robust flavor you’d expect from a black tea paired with juicy peach and spicy ginger flavors. Theaflavins provide prebiotic gut support that helps aid digestion.
There is caffeine in this tea, so be sure to enjoy this cocktail in the afternoon or early evening. The notes of peach flavor really pop, for an aromatic drink that appeals to the senses!
Lime juice adds tangy flavor and immune-boosting vitamin-C. For an alcohol-free version of this recipe just omit the vodka and add a little extra ginger beer.
