Best Ginger Beer for a Moscow Mule
I am a sucker for good ginger beer. If you are wondering if ginger beer has alcohol in it, it actually doesn’t! Ginger beer is a fermented, spicy drink that’s used as the base of 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.
- Then, pour into your favorite ice-filled copper mug.
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.

Friendly note from a former bartender: NEVER shake anything that is carbonated. A good rule of thumb for any co*cktail 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!
