Serves:
1
  • Ketel One Vodka (or any vodka of choice)

  • Ginger beer
    300ml
  • Plums

    5

Method

  1. Step 1

    Add the vodka, lime juice, sliced plums and thyme to a large pitcher and mix well.

  2. Step 2

    Pour in the ginger beer before allowing the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

  3. Step 3

    Serve individual portions of the cocktail in glasses filled with ice and garnished with sprigs of thyme.

Tips & Suggestions

  • Avoid over-muddling the thyme as it creates a bitter taste that overpowers the flavour of the cocktail.

  • Apricots and peaches are among the alternatives that can be used instead of plums for the drink.

FAQs

The ingredients of Moscow mule and London mule differ in terms of choice of spirit - Moscowmule uses vodka whereas London mule uses gin. 

Ginger ale can be a substitute for ginger beer due to its higher carbonation that makes the cocktail bubbly. 

Typically, neutral flavoured vodka is used to make the Moscow mule cocktail. However, using flavoured vodka adds complexity to the traditional version.
