Watermelon Moscow Mule

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Lately I’ve been on somewhat of a Moscow Mule kick. In case you don’t know what a Moscow Mule is, it’s basically vodka and ginger beer.  I decided to put a spin on the standard mule with this Watermelon Moscow Mule.  It was REALLY good – and if you want, you can easily make it a “mocktail” by omitting the vodka.

Watermelon Moscow Mule made with fresh Watermelon juiceI had half of a watermelon sitting around so I cut up some chunks and blended it to make fresh watermelon juice.  Have you ever done that?  It’s delicious!  First time I made fresh watermelon juice was for a Watermelon Margarita and I really loved the fresh juice in that drink so I decided to give it a try with the Moscow Mule. It adds just the right amount of fruity sweetness to the drink without masking the tangy ginger beer edge.  I suppose if you didn’t want to bother with making watermelon juice you could just muddle a couple chunks of watermelon in the glass first.  I also added just a bit of ginger liqueur because I had it, but if you don’t have any, it’s okay without it.  Once you’ve got all that together all you need is some vodka and lime and you’re all set!

A Watermelon Moscow Mule with fresh watermelon juiceI think you’ll love this spin on a traditional mule cocktail.  And, if you want to try something a little spicier than this Watermelon Moscow Mule check out my Mexican Mule, with a little jalapeño and cilantro, it’s another one that’s sure to please!

Cheers!
