If you are already a fan of the Moscow Mule, you should definitely give this Spicy Ginger Mule a go.
There is an extra-special spicy zing to this version of the popular cocktail, which sends it into the stratosphere of yum!
It’s got a little more heat than a typical Moscow Mule, but it’s not like a nuclear hot.
It’s a yummy hot!
Making an Extra Spicy Ginger Mule
The secret is the Brooklyn Crafted Ginger Beer – Extra Spicy.
This refreshing concoction isn’t always easy to find, but when you do, it is well worth it.
I have good luck finding it at Target.
It has the same refreshing taste of regular ginger beer.
But this is extra strong, and even has little bits of ginger in it.
It is especially suited to cocktails like this Spicy Ginger Mule because the flavor doesn’t get lost among the other ingredients.
Combined with vodka and lime juice, the flavor of Extra Spicy Ginger Beer is simply sublime.
Garnish with lime and fresh mint and serve in a copper mule mug to really amp up the refreshment level.
This cocktail is perfect for Autumn parties and gatherings, so be sure to have lots of ingredients on hand so you don’t run out!
Ingredients you need to make a Spicy Ginger Mule
- 12 oz Brooklyn Crafted Ginger Beer Extra Spicy (1 bottle)
- 1 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Lime Juice
- Ice
- Fresh mint, garnish
- Lime slices, garnish

How to make a Spicy Ginger Mule
Pre-Step: If you like your mules really cold, fill you mule cups with plenty of ice and a little water before making the drink.
It will get nice and chilly.
Then pour out the water and refresh the ice if needed before pouring the drink.
If using fresh limes, squeeze 1 oz of lime juice.
Fill a copper mule cup (or other beverage glass) with fresh ice.
Pour vodka and lime juice into the glass.
Then give it a good stir.
Top with ginger beer.
Garnish with lime wedges and fresh mint and enjoy!
