Rum and Ginger Beer- A Rum Moscow Mule

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sweet and spicy, Rum and ginger beer, aka a Rum Moscow Mule is truly a match made in heaven! Simple, sweet, sour and fizzy, it's everything we love about a summer cocktail!!

Rum and Ginger Beer

Confession. Much and all as I love rum cocktails, I've never been a fan of the Dark n' Stormy . The classic combo of dark rum and ginger beer is just a little too sweet and a little too flat for my taste.

So I gave this classic rum cocktail a bit of a makeover using my favorite cocktail formula - the moscow mule!

Spirit + lime + ginger beer is always a winning combination and the resulting cocktail was good. Light and refreshing it's just the kind of cocktail you want on a lazy summer afternoon or to sip around the bbq.

But I knew this rum Moscow mule could be better. And honestly, if you're going to have a cocktail, you want it to be great!!

What you need to make a great Rum Moscow Mule!

Ingredients:

  • White Rum - choose a good quality white rum like Bacardi. It's clean, lightly sweet flavor works perfectly!
  • Fresh lime juice - Bottled is convenient, but bottled lime juice always has this bitter, funky taste which is definitely not what you want!
  • Spiced Syrup - brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, allspice, and cloves are all you need for this syrup. Hint: Make extra since it's absolutely fabulous in iced coffee or stirred into ice tea!
  • Ginger Beer - ginger ale is a little too light for this rum cocktail so definitely go with ginger beer. I am a fan of Fever Tree, but use whatever ginger beer you like.

Tools:

  • Cocktail Shaker
  • Jigger or measuring spoons

How to Make this Rum and Ginger Beer Cocktail:

  • Step #1: Make the spiced syrup.
  • Step #2: Add the syrup, rum and lime juice to a shaker.
  • Step #3: Shake for about 10 seconds.
  • Step #4: Pour over ice in a rocks glass or chilled moscow mule mug. Top with ginger beer and garnish with a lime wheel and mint.
