Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Combine the Vanilla and Lime In a copper mule mug or a highball glass, add the fresh lime juice and the seeds from half a vanilla bean. Stir well to combine, allowing the vanilla to infuse the lime juice.

Step 2: Add the Vodka and Ice Add the vanilla vodka to the glass, followed by a handful of ice cubes. Stir again to mix the flavors thoroughly.

Step 3: Top with Ginger Beer Top off the drink with ginger beer. The ginger beer adds a refreshing, spicy kick that perfectly complements the smooth vanilla flavor.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve Garnish your Vanilla Bean Snowstorm Mule with a lime wedge and a vanilla bean pod or a sprig of mint for an extra festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, spicy, and refreshing flavors!

Notes

Vanilla Bean Substitute: If you don’t have a vanilla bean, you can use 1/2 tsp of pure vanilla extract as a substitute. It will still give you the rich vanilla flavor you need.
Ginger Beer Selection: Use a high-quality ginger beer for the best flavor. The spiciness of the ginger beer is key to balancing the sweetness of the vanilla.
Chill the Mug: To keep your mule extra cold, chill your copper mug or glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes before preparing the drink.
