Instructions
Make the Raspberry Simple Syrup
- Simmer the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and water over medium low heat in a small saucepan for 15 minutes, until the raspberries drain their color out into the syrup and look slumped. Pour the simple syrup through a small mesh sieve into a heat-safe container. Cover the container and put it into the fridge to chill.

Make the Raspberry Mules
- Grab your moscow mule mugs and divide the vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup between the two mugs. Stir and add ice about ½ way full, then top with the ginger beer.
- Garnish with more raspberries, lime wedges, and mint sprigs, if desired.
Notes
- With warm weather also comes cookouts and parties, so here's how to make this cocktail ahead of time and in a large patch for pitchers:
- Make 1 1/2 cups of raspberry simple syrup (that's 1 1/2 cups water and 1 1/2 cup sugar) and mix it with 1/3 cup lime juice and 1 1/4 cup of vodka in your pitcher. You can do this the day before, cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and keep the mix in the fridge.
- Right before serving, pour in 24 ounces of your favorite ginger beer. Then add in ice to fill the pitcher to the top. Serve with a little platter of lime wedges, fresh or frozen berries, and sprigs of fresh mint.
- This will serve 8-10 cocktails.
- Omit the vodka or use a zero-spirit vodka instead.
