Halloween Moscow Mule Ingredients
Vodka: I prefer using ginger vodka for an extra spicy kick, but any high-quality vodka will work.
Freshly squeezed lime juice: The tartness from fresh lime juice brightens up the drink.
Ginger beer: This adds a refreshing, fizzy, and slightly spicy flavor to the cocktail.Ice: Keeps your drink chilled and perfectly refreshing.
Activated charcoal: This is the key to turning regular vodka into spooky black vodka, giving the drink its signature Halloween look.
How to Make Black Vodka
The secret to making this cocktail stand out is the black vodka. It’s so easy to make by simply infusing regular vodka with activated charcoal.
All you need to do is mix in a small amount of activated charcoal into your vodka, stir until it’s fully dissolved, and you’re ready to go! It gives the drink that dark, Halloween vibe that’s perfect for the season.
Ginger Simple Syrup for a Sweeter Drink
To make your Halloween Moscow Mule a bit sweeter, you can easily whip up a homemade ginger simple syrup.
I like to use fresh ginger juice for a bold, spicy kick. Simply combine equal parts ginger juice and sugar in a saucepan, heat it gently while stirring until the sugar fully dissolves, and let it simmer for a minute or two.
Once it’s cooled, you’ll have a sweet, zesty syrup that adds an extra layer of flavor to your cocktail. It’s perfect if you want a sweeter drink with an extra burst of ginger.
