A Moscow mule is a wonderfully refreshing cocktail made with ginger beef, vodka and lime juice. It can then be flavored with fresh fruits and herbs to give it additional flavor.
In this post I’ll show you how to make a Moscow mule, what ingredients you’ll need to have on hand, and the best tools for making a mule.
What do I need to make a Strawberry Moscow Mule?
- Vodka – we like Tito’s Handmade Vodka, but you can use any traditional vodka and the best quality that you can afford.
- Ginger Beef – ginger beer is a non-alcoholic carbonated soda that is traditionally used to make a Moscow mule. There are many brands out there, including sugar-free options.
- Lime juice – I recommend using fresh-squeezed lime juice for making mules. Fresh-squeezed juice will provide a premium flavor that jarred juice doesn’t provide.
- Strawberry puree – strawberry puree is easily made by blending fresh or frozen strawberries with a small amount of water. Strawberry puree is fantastic for making cocktails and gives your drink a true strawberry flavor.
- Ice – crushed or ice cubes is needed for making Moscow mules.

How to make a strawberry Moscow mule:
To make a Strawberry Moscow mule, begin by pureeing the strawberries. Fresh or frozen strawberries are ideal for the best flavor for a mule. When using fresh strawberries, make sure you rinse and remove stems and any soft spots that might be present.
I wouldn’t recommend using strawberry syrup for a Moscow mule, as it is far too sweet. Any flavoring for a Moscow mule I recommend using fresh fruits, like peaches, pineapple, cherries, blueberries and fresh herbs like basil and rosemary.
What alcohol is in a Moscow mule?
Moscow mules are a vodka based cocktail. Traditional, unflavored vodka is ideal, however if you would prefer additional flavor in your mule, feel free to use a flavored vodka.
Can I use bottled lime juice for a Moscow mule?
I recommend using fresh-squeezed lime juice for a Moscow mule, as the flavor is unmatched. However, if you’re in a bind and fresh limes are unavailable and jarred is your only option, feel free to use it.
Where do I get ginger beer?
Ginger beer is most often found near the drink mixes at your local grocery store or market. It may also be stocked near the soda and bottled drink section. I used Fever Tree Ginger Beer for this recipe, which can be found at Target.
What glass is best for a Strawberry Moscow mule recipe?
Copper mugs are the most traditional vessel to serve a Moscow mule. Copper mugs are great for keeping the temperature of the cocktail extra cold.
If you don’t have copper mugs on hand, I recommend using a rocks glass filled with ice.
What should I garnish my Strawberry Moscow mule with?
A simple lime slice or strawberry slice on the side of the mug is a great garnish. Try using cocktail spears to create these pretty lime and strawberry garnishes, which add great color and some extra wow-factor to your drink.
