Blueberry Moscow Mule Ingredients
Ginger Beer: Use good quality ginger beer made with natural ginger.
Fresh Lime Juice: Only use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
Vodka: Use a high-quality vodka.
Blueberry Ginger Syrup: This is made with fresh blueberries and ginger. Check out the instructions below.
The Secret’s in the Syrup
Made with real ginger juice and fresh blueberries, this syrup adds a juicy kick. Bonus: it’s great on pancakes and desserts too!
Let’s Make a Blueberry Moscow Mule!
Prepare the Blueberry Ginger Syrup: Combine fresh blueberries, sugar, and ginger juice (or grated fresh ginger) in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, mashing the blueberries to release their juice. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding solids, and let the syrup cool.
Build the Mule: Fill a copper mug with ice. Add vodka, lime juice, and blueberry ginger syrup.
Top with Ginger Beer: Pour ginger beer over the mixture and gently stir to combine.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh blueberries, a mint sprig, and a lime wedge for a beautiful presentation.
Recipe Tips
Make It a Mocktail: Swap vodka for club soda or a zero-proof spirit – the blueberry ginger syrup still shines!
Use Fresh Lime Juice: Always squeeze fresh – bottled juice just doesn’t deliver the same bright flavor.
Frozen Berries Work Too: No fresh blueberries? Thawed frozen ones are perfect for the syrup.
Add Fresh Herbs: Muddle in basil, rosemary, or thyme for an extra layer of flavor.
Pick Quality Ginger Beer: A good, real-ginger brew makes all the difference.
Garnish Like a Pro: Top with blueberries, edible flowers, or mint for a cocktail that looks as good as it tastes.

Ooo. I’m gonna have to admit that I am a moscow mule fan… but I didn’t know how easy this is to make at home. This is a dangerous info! LOL. I’m going to have to try this blueberry syrup too. Love the change to the recipe.
