Expert Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- If using frozen strawberries, allow them to thaw slightly before muddling.
- Muddle the strawberries well to release their juices and flavor.
- Don't skimp on the lime juice - it adds a tangy kick that balances out the sweetness of the strawberries.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of ginger beer. I usually just pour it in until it gets to the top of the mug.
- Use a copper mug if possible, as it helps keep the drink cold and adds an extra touch of authenticity.
- If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, you can add a splash of simple syrup, honey, or agave syrup to taste.
- For a non-alcoholic drink, simply omit the vodka and substitute ginger ale for the ginger beer.
- Remember to enjoy your Strawberry Moscow Mule responsibly and savor every sip of this delicious and refreshing cocktail!
