Description
A refreshing summer twist on the classic Moscow Mule featuring fresh, juicy peaches, spicy ginger beer, and smooth vodka served in an ice-cold copper mug.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe peaches, diced
- 2 ounces vodka
- 4 ounces ginger beer
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce simple syrup
- Ice cubes as needed
- 4–5 fresh mint leaves
- 1–2 peach slices for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Add diced peaches and simple syrup to a copper mug or highball glass. Muddle thoroughly to release the fruit’s juices and create a flavorful base.
- 2. Add fresh lime juice and vodka to the muddled peach mixture. Stir briefly to combine all ingredients.
- 3. Fill the glass completely with ice cubes, preferably large cubes for slower melting.
- 4. Pour ginger beer over the ice, allowing it to mix naturally with the ingredients below. Stir gently once or twice to combine.
- 5. Slap mint leaves between your palms to release aromatic oils, then add to the drink as garnish.
- 6. Garnish with fresh peach slices and a lime wheel. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
Notes
For best results, use ripe, in-season peaches. The cocktail is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to maintain carbonation. Can substitute with frozen peaches if fresh aren’t available. Store leftover peach puree refrigerated for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
