Servings 1 person

Equipment

  • Copper Mug
  • Copper Shaker

Ingredients
  

  • 3 rosemary sprigs
  • 2 sage leaves
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 oz vodka
  • 2 oz cranberry juice
  • 4 oz ginger beer
  • 0.5 oz lime
  • 1 cup ice

Instructions
 

  • 1. In a copper cocktail shaker, muddle a small amount of rosemary and sage with a teaspoon of sugar. In other words, gently press down on the mixture of herbs and sugar with the utensil of your choice, rocking back and forth and twisting. This will help draw out some of the natural oils from the herbs to give your cocktail an aromatic edge.
  • 2. Add vodka and cranberry juice to your cocktail shaker.
  • 3. Add lime juice to taste.
  • 4. Replace the lid and shake the ingredients together.
  • 5. Pour your concoction into a copper Moscow Mule mug

Notes

You’re almost finished. But, in the spirit of (most) cocktails, it only tastes as good as it looks. Give your cranberry Moscow Mule the garnish it deserves with a few bobbing cranberries and a sprig of rosemary. You might even prefer to make a skewer of cranberries for a festive and creative drink stirrer. Add a slice of lime for a red and green holiday appeal, and enjoy!

Christmas Moscow Mule Mocktail

Not all cocktails are created equal — especially around the holidays. For a non-alcoholic holiday cocktail solution, simply skip the vodka and enjoy it without. No matter who’s driving home, the beverage tastes wonderful with ginger beer, lime, and our festive twist.

Swap Out the Sage

If you’d prefer, you can swap the sage leaves out for mint. This will totally transform the drink from having an earthy, savory edge to leaning into lighter, more refreshing flavors. (If you’re looking for more minty goodness, try our cranberry-apple mint julep recipe, too!)

Why copper mugs for Moscow Mules?

Ever since the Moscow Mule was invented, it’s called for being served in a special copper mug. That’s because copper is an excellent thermal conductor. The whole mug gets chilly, including the rim, which adds to the frosty sensation with every sip.

We know what you’re thinking. A cold drink seems a little bit counterintuitive during the winter months, when we tend to think of mulled wine, hot cocoa, and warmed cider. But trust us on this one. A cold beverage is just the thing for a cozy holiday gathering where everyone is rocking their most festive sweaters, the house is filled with people, and the oven’s been on all day long.

Another benefit of copper? It looks gorgeous on your Christmas table or at the bar cart. Check out our entire selection of copper mugs and find the set that best suits your style.

Merry Christmas from our team to you!

Whether you’re mixing up a drink to share as chestnuts roast over an open fire or creating a custom cocktail to be the star of your party, we hope the season brings you comfort and joy. Cheers to celebrations with family and friends!

The Best Pumpkin Spice Moscow Mule Recipe for Toasting Fall

Spice up your Moscow Mule for the Season

Jump to Recipe

If you’re looking for a cocktail that naturally complements the traditional blend of pumpkin pie spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger), then look no further than the Moscow Mule. The inclusion of ginger beer makes Moscow Mules a perfect candidate for harmonizing with fall flavors.

Our homemade pumpkin pie simple syrup includes real pumpkin, not just the traditional spices. You can DIY the mix at home. It will have your kitchen smelling incredible as the scent of the cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices warm aromatically.

Once you’ve cooked up the syrup and let it cool, it’s a snap to mix together this creative cocktail. Make the pumpkin spice syrup ahead of time in order to offer a signature drink for a fall backyard get-together or autumnal celebration. It’s also an excellent treat for just yourself, and worth the extra effort!

The Secret to a Delightful Pumpkin Spice Mule

Pumpkin spice sometimes gets a bad rap as sticky-sweet or ‘overdone’ for the fall. Really, though, we think the criticism is unfounded. Pumpkin pie spice is all about using those classic spices to create warm flavors that complement in-season produce during the harvest. And while you can certainly make this cocktail sweeter to your own tastes, we find it to be a well-balanced drink that allows all the flavors to shine.

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Syrup

In a traditional Moscow Mule, it’s freshly squeezed lime juice that provides that bracing, acidic complement to the ginger beer; in our version of a pumpkin spice Mule, it’s a spiced simple syrup that adds complexity and sings beautifully with the flavor of ginger.

While prepackaged syrups are available, making your own is fairy simple and will give you more control over the ingredients. If you’re only making one or two cocktails, you can use the rest of the syrup for coffee or lattes.

Notes

Ingredient Notes

  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own! It's simply a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, with about half of the mix being cinnamon and the other half the additional spices. Sometimes, cooks will also add allspice to the mix. Allrecipes has directions for making your own pumpkin spice if you'd like exact directions.
  • Be sure to look for canned pumpkin puree, not canned pumpkin pie filling. The former is cooked and pureed pumpkin; the latter contains other ingredients, including sweetener, and has a consistency that will not lend itself well to the syrup.
  • Your choice of ginger beer can tip the drink from the spicy to the sweet. Either a sweeter or a spicy ginger beer will pair gorgeously in this cocktail; check out our Moscow Mule ingredient recommendations for insight into which bottles you may want to stock.
  • Use crushed ice in the mugs to keep the drinks extra cold.

Tips for Great Pumpkin Spice Mules

  • When making the homemade pumpkin spice syrup, be sure that the sugar completely dissolves. Otherwise, the syrup will not be smooth or even.
  • The syrup should thicken slightly and be able to coat the back of a spoon while cooking. However, remember that it will thicken more while cooling, and do not over-cook.
  • Serve the drinks in copper mugs, just as you would for any other Moscow Mule. This is a key part of the recipe and the drinking experience! The copper conducts temperature extremely well, so every sip you take hits the tongue with an icy chill.

What to Pair with Pumpkin Spice Mules

Once you’ve mixed up a Mule or two, you may be looking for ideas to pair with this seasonal drink. Whether you’re enjoying a cocktail in the evening or hosting a party and looking for snacks, we’ve got you covered.

Here are some ideas for party foods and snacks for home that will pair well with our pumpkin pie spice Moscow Mule recipe.

tina witherspoon doKgFnvwH4g unsplash scaled e1662736793603

Complement the spice with a creamy cheese.

While the cocktail isn’t spicy-hot, it is full of spices (on top of the spicy ginger beer)! A creamy goat cheese or ricotta balances the sharpness of ginger beer. Try goat cheese on crostini, drizzled with honey, or choose a seedy harvest bread to top with ricotta and walnuts.

zoe schaeffer hmoDcZnB7uw unsplash scaled

Lean into seasonal produce.

Apples and pears offer a tart-sweet combo and continue the celebration of fall flavors. Simply slicing fresh, local fruit for a tray or charcuterie board lets these prime picks shine.

pierpaolo riondato s7r4xjKXo0s unsplash scaled

Select a sweet.

While Moscow Mules aren’t traditionally considered a dessert cocktail, the inclusion of pumpkin pie spice simple syrup gives you the opportunity to bridge the gap into sweet treats. An apple galette, pecan pie, or salted caramels are all possible choices.

In general, you’ll want to look for desserts with a savory twist, which will complement the pumpkin spice Moscow mule rather than overwhelming it.

pratik bachhav 5p6B2SGx1qc unsplash scaled

Go nuts.

Walnuts, pecans, and pumpkin seeds are all salty choices that pair well with an icy cold cocktail and are perfect party foods. Their warm, toasty flavors work well with pumpkin pie spices like ginger, cinnamon, and clove. Smoked almonds introduce a new layer of flavor for a contrast to the bright spices in the pumpkin pie spice syrup, too.

bohdan stocek ogoLAJboB6o unsplash scaled

Use crackers and toasts for a flexible foundation.

There’s a reason these are party staples! Get creative with toppings, or add them to a charcuterie spread and let your guests pair favorite flavors on their own. As any bar owner will tell you, crunchy and salty are unbeatable combinations with a good drink, and crackers and toasts make that a snap.

Celebrating the Season

Another reason to go with a Moscow Mule as your cocktail of choice for a fall gathering? The warm, gleaming color of copper will complement any tablescape beautifully, especially when paired with colors like red, yellow, and gold.

Fall get-togethers present an excellent chance to showcase your mugs, or to leave your full copper barware set on display (our smooth copper cocktail shaker and hammered copper cocktail shaker are both excellent choices).

Our shop has additional copper pieces that will add a gorgeous glow to any party, too.

MOSCOW MULE RECIPE – LIME IN THE COCO-NUT FEAT. LUX MILK

FullSizeRender 32 300x300

We had the pleasure of meeting Lux Milk owner, Amy Bisogni at a recent LocalLove805 mixer in town about our favorite Moscow Mule recipe. The mixer was featuring some local businesses in the 805 (Ventura County) and when we heard about her almond milk, we could NOT wait to try it. After her visit to our office, we got to try some of the goods… and I mean GOOD.

Lux Almond Milk crafts many varieties of almond milk such as sweetened and unsweetened versions of the original recipe as well as Lavender and Chocolate (flavored with Raw Cacao). This milk is creamy, oh so delicious, and the best we’ve ever had. There are no preservatives and we’re fine with it because we can’t seem to make a bottle last more than a day anyways! You can find Lux Almond currently at the local Camarillo Farmer’s Market on Saturdays. Visit her website to find out more!

When talking to Amy, we quickly realized that we shared a love for cocktails and she had mentioned to me that she frequently makes cocktails with her almond milks. Immediately, I couldn’t wait to craft up a creamy tail and was especially thrilled that it would be considered a “Skinny” Cocktail with almond milk as the cream base.

This particular recipe was inspired by a creamy cocktail I had recently on a trip to San Francisco. While we enjoyed many great cocktails, the drinks from Pacific Cocktail Haven haven’t left my dreams. The only thing missing from them was some copper! For this recipe, we used our hammered copper tumblers for serving and our hammered jigger for the perfect pours. So without further ado, I give you the LIME IN THE COCO-NUT.

Cinco De Mayo: HOT Cucumber Margarita & Cara-Coco Margarita

I don’t know about you but drinking holidays are my absolute favorite. I love the opportunity to imbibe any time, but this just gives me an excuse to make up a great cocktail… so what did I do? Not create one, but TWO very simple to make, fresh and “skinny” (cause that’s how I do em’) cocktails. I was rushing home from a very busy day at the office today at Copper Mug Co. and with our gloomy beach weather, I just wanted to avoid the Friday night party crowd and stay inside my cozy home. That said, I never turn down a celebration, even if it’s at home. I decided to swing by the grocery store and gave myself a challenge with 3 rules: limited ingredients, low sugar content, and I had to make two recipes. Given that most of the good tequilas were picked over at this hour, and who knows what I had in my liquor cabinet, I grabbed one that looked extremely enticing and that I have never seen before – Dolce Vida which is a handcrafted ORGANIC tequila from Texas. Yes, I love organic and small batch liquor. The checkout lines were long, and the produce aisles packed so I grabbed a few go-tos: Cara Cara oranges ( the best oranges I have ever had, a cross between a blood orange and navel orange – I first tried one in Italy and fell in love), Cucumbers to keep it light and refreshing, and some Jalepeno for a kick. What happened an hour later at home became true cocktail bliss. I now give you, the most delicious margaritas I have ever made and give any top shelf Mexican bar a run for their money.

AUTHENTIC MOSCOW MULE by Andriana Baker

Andriana first became a customer of ours a few years ago, then we had the recent pleasure of making a custom batch of copper mugs personalized for her wedding which is the biggest honor for us. Andriana is a talented photographer, she captures the most beautiful photos so when she approached us about doing a blog post for our copper mugs on her personal blog with a photoshoot, we kinda squealed and jumped with excitement!

Andriana doesn’t mess around when it comes to the Moscow Mule, her recipe is straight up authentic and as good as it gets. She even uses our partner’s Cock N’ Bull Ginger beer! I highly suggest visiting her blog for the full recipe and more beautiful photos of our copper mugs, not to mention taking a look at all of her fantastic work which you can check out HERE.

Cantaloupe Sangria feat. Cali Love Wine

It feels like Summer is quickly dwindling away from us… kids are going back to school and September seems too close for comfort so we decided to embark on a Summer Pick-Me-Up with a new twist on Sangria! This Sangria has a natural sweetness from the melon and a creaminess from the Chardonnay. We used our favorite wine label – Cali Love Wine‘s new Mellow Yellow Chardonnay. Mellow Yellow has the creaminess of a Chardonnay but goes next level with a little Pineapple and Citrus which makes it perfect for Sangria. THIS IS IMPORTANT: I would not recommend a very oaky style Chardonnay for this recipe.

You can purchase Mellow Yellow online from Cali Love Wine at this link: http://www.calilovewine.com/scripts/winepg.cfm/_/32/2015/Mellow-Yellow/
