Unleaded Mule

 
 

Unleaded Mule

No booze, all bite. The Unleaded Mule delivers the signature zing of a classic Moscow Mule—zesty lime, bold ginger beer, and a cool kick of mint—without the hard stuff. Served ice-cold in a copper mug (because we're classy like that), it’s the perfect combo of refreshing and feisty. Saddle up, sober style.

Servings 2

Equipment

  • 2 Copper Mugs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Bottle Ginger Beer (or Ginger Ale)
  • 2 Limes (or 2-4 tbsp lime juice)
  • 1/2 Cup Club Soda or Sparkling Water Spindrift Nojito works great!
  • Ice
  • Lime Slices or Fresh Mint Leaves for garnish
  • 1 tbsp Agave Syrup optional
  • 1 Splash of limeade optional

Instructions
 

  • Fill the copper mugs with ice (to taste)
  • Open one bottle of ginger beer (or one can of ginger ale) and fill the two mugs until they are about 2/3 full. If measuring, it would be about 3/4 cup each. Let settle
  • Add club soda or seltzer water and optional sweetener and/or splash of limeade
  • Stir and garnish with lime and mint leaves (if desired)

Notes

  • Ginger Beer has a little more bite than ginger ale and adds that extra kick!
  • To keep calories down, you can use diet/sugar free ginger beer or ginger ale
  • Lime Juice – Always best if freshly squeezed but can use bottled – just make sure there are no extra sweeteners
  • Club Soda/Sparkling Water – I say this with almost all my recipes, but Spindrift Nojito flavored sparkling water is amazing in this recipe!
  • Sweeteners such as agave syrup can be added if you want just a touch of sweetness
  • A splash of limeade at the end adds a nice kick at the end! Totally optional, but I am a fan of limeade!
  • Mint leaves or Lime wedge add a nice finishing touch!
Sip back and enjoy! Make sure to take a picture and tag @rockinyoursoberlife!
