Fresh Basil Moscow Mule Cocktail
A refreshing basil Moscow Mule made with vodka, fresh lime juice, muddled basil, and ginger beer -- a herbal twist on the classic cocktail, ready in minutes.
Ingredients
- 60 ml vodka
- 15 ml lime juice
- ginger beer
- fresh basil leaves a couple of leaves
Instructions
- Add the vodka, lime juice, and basil leaves to a cocktail shaker. Gently muddle the basil leaves to release their aroma. Add 2-3 ice cubes and shake well until chilled.
- Fill your glass with crushed ice. Using a double strainer, strain the cocktail over the ice.
- Top with ginger beer and serve immediately.
Notes
Muddle the basil gently to release its aroma without turning the drink bitter. Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the brightest flavor. Add the ginger beer last to keep the drink fizzy, and serve immediately.
