Fruity Moscow Mule Recipe
I’ve found a new favorite co*cktail. I know I say that a lot…but this time it’s true. THE MOSCOW MULE. I love the copper cups. I love the ginger beer. I love how freezing cold it is. It’s delicious.
The only way to improve upon it is to add some Pomegranate. Pomegranate Moscow Mule = holiday heaven.
Why you’ll love these Pomegranate Moscow Mules:
- A co*cktail that’s perfect for the holidays! With its pop of red from the pomegranate and the warming, lightly spiced hit of the ginger beer, it fits hand in glove for the winter holidays.
- An easy festive co*cktail. It’s so simple to whip up with only a few ingredients.
- A delicious twist on a classic. Moscow Mules are one of the most popular co*cktails and this pomegranate Moscow mule switches things up nicely. The pomegranate works so well with the ginger beer.

Ingredients
- Pomegranate juice: Pomegranate adds a lovely sour twist to the co*cktail.
- Vodka: I’ve gone for Pearl Pomegranate Vodka; it’s nice and smooth.
- Lime juice: Freshly squeezed is best.
- Ginger beer: Choose your favorite brand.
- Garnish: Pomegranate arils and lime wedges set this drink off perfectly.
Trademark note: In the spirit of transparency, please note that Pearl Pomegranate Vodka, Fever Tree’s ginger beer, co*ck’n Bull, Gosling’s, and D&G are proprietary brands that I want to acknowledge and give credit to.
How to make this Pomegranate Moscow Mule
- Combine the pomegranate juice, pomegranate vodka, lime juice and ginger beer in a co*cktail shaker.
- Pour over ice.
- Garnish with pomegranate and lime wedges.
A Great Seasonal co*cktail
This co*cktail is perfect for the holidays. It’s light and refreshing (save the heavy stuff for all the comfort food you’ll be eating!), has a pop of Christmas colors, and features my favorite winter fruit, the pomegranate! What’s not to love?!
A Delicious Moscow Mule
The pomegranate is the perfect complement to the crisp ginger beer. I recently discovered Pearl Vodka and I love their flavors. Every variety I have tried has been delicious. (Apple Pie Punch anyone?) Their Pomegranate Vodka is especially yummy. It tastes fresh and crisp. I could sip it on its own. I won’t…but I could. I’m just saying!
Be sure to check out other recipes using Pearl Vodka, and all of their other delicious flavors. I’ve got my eye on the Chocolate Covered Cherry next. Seems like that could make for a mighty happy Valentine’s Day!
You can use any pomegranate vodka, or even just plain vodka. The pom juice goes a long way!
Can I use Ginger Ale in a Moscow Mule?
Even though this is a vodka-based co*cktail, the drink relies heavily on the ginger beer. Choose a brand you like, or for a real punch, try a ginger beer that’s spicy and extra gingery, not sweet. Fever Tree’s ginger beer is lovely, but co*ck’n Bull, Gosling’s, and D&G are also good ones to try.
Ginger beer and ginger ale are very different.Ginger ale just won’t cut it, here. Ginger beer is much more “gingery” and spicy than ginger ale.Ginger ale has more carbonation. And neither of them contains alcohol.
Why are Moscow Mules served in copper mugs?
So what’s the story behind the copper cup and the Moscow Mule? You can read about it here, but in a nutshell: it was a way to sell help a Russian immigrant girl sell copper mugs, sell ginger beer and promote Russian vodka!

Becky’s tips
- A copper mug is a great way to drink a Moscow Mule, but it’s not necessary, nor does it affect the flavor.
- Use fresh instead of bottled lime juice and I promise you will taste the difference!
- Garnish with a wedge of lime and pomegranate arils.
- You will need lots of ice per serving. Crushed ice is traditional.
