Blackberry Moscow Mule Recipe
Nothing is as refreshing as a crisp Moscow Mule on a hot summer day. This Blackberry Moscow Mule Recipe takes the classic Moscow Mule to a whole new level just by adding a couple of blackberries.
Fresh blackberries give you the best flavor. You can normally buy them at your grocery store throughout the year. If you live in an area where they grow and have access to them, pick extra and freeze them. Berries will stay good in the freezer for about a year if sealed well.
When you’re ready to make the Blackberry Moscow Mule Recipe, just take them out and let them thaw in the refrigerator. Nothing can beat the juiciness of fresh blackberry, but these are the next best thing.
Moscow Mule Mugs
Copper mugs are the ideal choice for any type of mule drink. Copper is a great metal for heat transfer or in this case cold transfer as the copper will become the same temperature as the drink. A super cold Moscow Mule will condense the mug due to the temperature difference between the surrounding air and the cold temperature of the drink.
