There’s no question, I love a good recipe. Ordinarily, you’ll find me posting about pecan pie or my family’s “farmer cookie” recipe but, I swear I love a good beverage recipe when I find one. Today I’m sharing a tasty and fun drink that I discovered through friends — the Moscow Mule.
It’s the perfect drink for holiday entertaining or during any season. Mules are typically made with ginger beer, but I’ll be honest, after a few sips the ginger flavor is a little too much for my taste buds. Then I accidentally discovered I could make them with ginger ale. It gives you a very similar taste without the bite of strong ginger. Here’s the recipe I use:
2 0z. vodka 2 0z. lime juice 3-4 oz. Canada Dry Ginger ale (or any amount to suit your taste)I made this batch using this fun shaker I received from Canada Dry.
I simply mixed the vodka and lime juice together in the shaker, then added the ginger ale. Then I poured the mixture over ice in to my Moscow Mule copper mug.
Here’s what makes this drink extra fun…kids can make their own non-alcoholic version! Here’s how my kids make it themselves:
1 cup ginger ale 2 tsp. lime juiceThey poured the ingredients in to the Canada Dry shaker and then gave it a light shake and a couple of swirls around and poured it in to their own mule mug.
My kids love making their own drinks!

That is awesome and my fave drink. Going by there today.
I just had a moscow mule for the first time this past summer and it was yummy. I’ll have to try this recipe.
Sounds yummy! I bet the ginger ale gives it just the right amount of fizz I’ll have to give this a try. 🙂
Blessings,
Beth
