Moscow Mule Pitcher
Description
This cocktail combines two bottles of ginger beer with vodka and lime juice poured over sliced lime rounds in a pitcher. Stirring the ingredients together allows the flavors to meld without losing the ginger beer's carbonation if added just before serving. The drink’s citrusy and slightly spicy profile is enhanced by the fresh lime juice and garnish. It is served immediately over ice, traditionally in copper mugs, enhancing the overall chilled experience.
Preparing the lime juice and slicing the garnish ahead of time saves effort before guests arrive. To prevent the ginger beer from going flat, add it last, right before serving, keeping the pitcher chilled until then. The citrus intensity intensifies if lime juice is made too far in advance. Slicing and storing the lime rounds in the fridge maintains freshness for days.
Ingredients
- 24 oz. ginger beer 2-12 oz. bottles
- 9 oz. vodka
- 3 oz. lime juice freshly squeezed
- ice for serving
- 4-5 lime sliced into rounds
Instructions
- In a pitcher, add the lime rounds.
- On top of the limes, measure out the ginger beer, vodka and lime juice.
- Stir the ingredients together.
- Pour over ice in individual copper mugs, and add a lime wedge or round for garnish. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Squeeze fresh lime juice 1–2 hours before serving for best flavor, avoiding bottled juice.
- Slice limes for garnish in advance and store refrigerated for a few days.
- Mix the pitcher just before guests arrive to keep ginger beer fizzy.
- For make-ahead, combine vodka and lime juice with lime rounds in the fridge; add ginger beer and stir before serving.
