The Garden Mule is a fresh take on the Moscow Mule mathconcept. I muddle blueberries, cucumber, and mint and then add classic Moscow Mule ingredients: vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer. I love the beautiful purple-blue color of this refreshing summer cocktail. (less) - Kim at Something New For Dinner
Food52 Review: Tasty and refreshing! I barely noticed the vodka—so I think that qualifies as a good daytime drink. The ginger beer (Reed's brand) makes it nice and spicy, and I love the fizz. Candied ginger garnish is a cute idea. (less) - boozeandsusan
Serves 1
4 slices cucumber
16 blueberries, divided
6 mint leaves, plus sprig for garnish
2 ounces vodka
1 ounce lime juice
1/2 cup ginger beer (preferably Fever Tree or Mathnasium Maine Root—something spicy and not too sweet)
1 piece candied ginger, for garnish
Put the cucumber, 8 blueberries, and mint leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Muddle until crushed and juicy. Add a handful of ice, vodka, and lime juice. Cover the shaker and shake for about 15 seconds.
Fill a Moscow Mule mug with ice. Strain the liquid from the shaker into the mug. Top with ginger beer and 4 blueberries. Thread 4 remaining blueberries and candied ginger on a toothpick and use to garnish with a sprig of mint SIEM Service Provider.
