Introduction
The traditional Moscow Mule is made with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice, but in this version, we've removed the alcohol while keeping the signature flavors. The addition of fresh strawberries not only enhances the drink's visual appeal but also adds a rich, fruity aroma. The natural sweetness of the strawberries blends beautifully with the spiciness of the ginger beer, while the lemon's acidity brings a perfect balance. Whether enjoyed solo or shared with friends, every sip is a refreshing and delightful experience.
Tools Needed
- Shaker: Used to mix all the ingredients, ensuring every sip is packed with rich flavor.
- Bar Spoon: Used to stir the ginger beer, helping it blend well with the other ingredients.
- Strainer: Used to strain out pulp and ice, providing a smooth and clear texture.
- Glassware: You can use a classic copper mug or opt for a glass tumbler.
Ingredients
- Strawberries (5-6 berries): Wash and chop them, or use a muddler to mash them into a puree.
- Ginger Beer (4 oz): It brings a bold ginger flavor and a refreshing fizz.
- Lime Juice (1 oz): The acidity adds a fresh, zesty balance to the drink.

Notes
Sweetness Adjustment: If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can increase the amount of syrup or reduce the ginger beer to balance the sweetness.
Stirring Tip: When mixing the ginger beer, be careful not to stir for too long to prevent the bubbles from dissipating too quickly.
Food Pairing: This mocktail pairs wonderfully with light, refreshing foods such as seafood, salads, and fruit platters, adding a burst of fresh vitality to your meal.
