Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 oz cherry vodka
  • 1 oz vanilla syrup
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • Ginger beer (to top off)
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh cherries (for garnish)
  • Lime wedge (for garnish)
  • Mint sprig (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Glass Take a mule mug or a highball glass and fill it with ice cubes. The ice keeps the drink cold and enhances the frosted effect, giving the cocktail its characteristic chill.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients In a cocktail shaker, combine the cherry vodka, vanilla syrup, and fresh lime juice. The cherry vodka adds a fruity sweetness, while the vanilla syrup gives the drink a smooth, creamy undertone that pairs beautifully with the tartness of the lime juice.

Step 3: Shake and Pour Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. Strain the mixture into the prepared mule mug or glass filled with fresh ice. This helps keep the drink cold without over-diluting the flavors.

Step 4: Top with Ginger Beer Top off the cocktail with ginger beer. The ginger beer adds a spicy, effervescent kick that balances the sweetness of the cherry and vanilla flavors perfectly.

Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy Garnish your Frosted Cherry Vanilla Mule with fresh cherries, a lime wedge on the rim, and a sprig of mint for an extra touch of color. These garnishes add visual appeal and enhance the drink’s freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of vanilla syrup. You can also use sugar-free vanilla syrup if you want to cut down on sugar.
  • Choosing Ginger Beer: Use a high-quality ginger beer for the best flavor. The ginger beer should have a strong, spicy kick to balance the sweetness of the cherry and vanilla.
  • Chill All Ingredients: To keep your Frosted Cherry Vanilla Mule as refreshing as possible, make sure all your ingredients, including the ginger beer, are well-chilled before mixing.
