Our Take on a Frozen Moscow Mule
Share
Experiencing a hot day? You'll want a Moscow Mule! But you also want something cold enough to make you forget it's hot out. Enter: the Frozen Moscow Mule. It's got everything you love about the original: the sharp ginger, the tart lime, the vodka, but blended smooth and icy so it hits different on a porch in July.
There's genuinely no reason not to make this. If you own a blender and have five minutes, you're already halfway there. Let's get into it!
What you'll need
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka
- 3 oz ginger beer
- ¾ oz fresh lime juice
- ¾ oz simple syrup
- Heaping cup of ice
- Lime wheel to garnish
Equipment
- Blender
- Cutting board
- Moscow Mule cups
- reCAP POUR Lid
How to make it
1. Add your vodka, ginger beer, lime juice, and simple syrup to the blender.
2. Load it up with ice: a heaping cup works great, adjust to how slushy you like it.
3. Blend until smooth. If it's too chunky, add a splash more ginger beer and blend again.
4. Pour into your Moscow Mule cups, garnish with a lime wheel, and drink immediately. Don't let this one sit.
Skip the pour-and-spill juggle. The reCAP POUR lid threads right onto a standard Mason jar and gives you a clean, controlled pour every time. Perfect for simple syrup, infused spirits, or any cocktail ingredient you're prepping ahead.
We store our house-made simple syrup in a Mason jar with a reCAP POUR lid on top. No measuring cups, no sticky spouts, no mess, just flip and pour. It's become one of those things you don't realize you needed until you can't imagine doing without it.
A few variations worth trying
Once you've nailed the base, the fun starts. Swap the vodka for tequila and you've got a frozen Mexican Mule. Add a handful of fresh mint before blending for something a little more herbaceous. A splash of raspberry liqueur makes it look as good as it tastes. The formula is forgiving, play with it.
And if you want to get fancy, rim your cups with Tajín before pouring. Spicy, salty, citrusy! It sounds weird but it's outstanding.
