That mule doesn't seem so 'ornery now!
This Strawberry Moscow Mule Cocktail is the perfect summer refreshment for any occasion. The classic Moscow Mule is a combination of vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice, but this version adds a sweet and fruity twist with the addition of strawberries. The combination of the tart lime and the sweet strawberries creates a balanced and refreshing flavor. The drink is also easy to make, requiring only a few ingredients and a few minutes of your time.
To make this Strawberry Moscow Mule Cocktail, you will need vodka, ginger beer, lime juice, and strawberries. Start by muddling the strawberries in a shaker with a few drops of lime juice.

Garnish with a lime wedge and a few extra strawberries.
This cocktail is perfect for a summer day, whether you’re enjoying a night out on the patio or hosting a backyard barbecue. It’s an easy way to impress your guests with a delicious and refreshing drink. Add a few extra strawberries for a more vibrant color, or substitute the vodka for tequila for a different twist.
