What is a Pomegranate Moscow Mule?
This is a recipe of the traditional Moscow Mule recipe that consists of Vodka, fresh Lime Juice, and Ginger Beer, to this variation we add Pomegranate Juice plus fresh Mint leaves and a touch of Agave syrup to balance the flavors!
Classic Moscow Mule is usually served in copper mugs since this metal keeps our cocktail cold for a long time. If you could buy a set, it would be very useful to enjoy your cocktail!
Ingredients For a Pomegranate Moscow Mule
This Pomegranate Mule recipe is very simple and easy to prepare, grab the following main ingredients:
- Vodka- This distillate is very neutral for cocktails, which is why it is widely used in many recipes, it does not change the color of our cocktail and it gives us that balanced touch of alcohol.
- Mint- Fresh mint leaves will give it that aroma and freshness!
- Pomegranate Juice- This detox juice has a very peculiar and refreshing flavor, as well as a vibrant color that encourages you to have a cocktail made with this fresh pomegranate juice.
- Lime Juice– The acidity of the freshly squeezed juice and its vitamin C perfectly complement our recipe.
- Agave Syrup- It will balance the citrus of the lime juice.
- Ginger Beer- I used Fever-Tree flavored blood orange optional, this ingredient is the essential guest for mules, it gives us that spicy touch of ginger flavor and a bubbly finish to our palate!
- Crushed Ice- I love using this type of ice for refreshing cocktails to be able to maintain their freshness for longer.
