Best Ginger Beer for a Moscow Mule

You can find it at most supermarkets and liquor stores. Here are our go-to ginger beer brands to use for Moscow Mules:
- Barritts
- Reeds
- Goslings
How to Make a Moscow Mule
Making these blackberry Moscow mules is as easy as this 4-step process, and you’ll be off and sipping this delicious drink in 5 minutes flat:
- To make these delicious blackberry Moscow Mules start by muddling a few blackberries on the bottom of a drink shaker.
- Then, muddle a few mint leaves.
- Add vodka, ginger beer, lime juice, and a handful of ice to the drink shaker and close the lid. Shake a few times to mix.

Mason Jar Pro Tip:
Don’t have a drink shaker? Use a mason jar! They can be used in the same exact way as a traditional drink shaker. Just make sure you have the top, and screw it on tightly.

I made these when quarantine first started and they were great! Blackberry and mint is a delightful and refreshing combo!
Glad you love these!
Friendly note from a former bartender: NEVER shake anything that is carbonated. A good rule of thumb for any cocktail is to add all juices/other ingredients to the shaker, shake, pour into your serving glass and then top with the carbonated beverage. Then you can give it a quick swirl with a spoon to gently incorporate the yummy flavors in with the carbonated mixer. Other than that, this drink sounds so tasty!
Hey Gemma! Thanks for the tip!
Yeah maybe don’t shake it with the ginger beer in it, kinda causes an explosion.
