By I made a pumpkin-spice Moscow mule mocktail for the First Baptist Halloween volunteer appreciation. Ginger beer, pumpkin spice syrup, lime juice. No vodka per the church rules.
The recipe is below.
Pumpkin Spice Moscow Mule
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 0 minutes | Total Time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka
- 1/2 oz pumpkin puree
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice (about 1/2 a lime)
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice, plus more for garnish
- 4–5 oz ginger beer, chilled
- Ice (crushed preferred)
- Lime wheel and cinnamon stick, for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the base. In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, pumpkin puree, lime juice, simple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Add a handful of ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled and combined.
- Fill your mule cup. Fill a copper mug (or a tall glass) generously with crushed ice.
- Strain and pour. Strain the shaken mixture over the ice in your mug, leaving room at the top for the ginger beer.
- Top with ginger beer. Pour the chilled ginger beer gently over the back of a spoon to preserve the fizz. Give the drink one gentle stir to just barely combine.
- Garnish and serve. Add a lime wheel and a cinnamon stick, then dust lightly with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice on top. Serve immediately.
