The Simple Goodness Sisters Mule

March 25, 2021

The Simple Goodness Cocktail Farm Mule is an approachable, incredibly easy to make variation on the Moscow Mule.

We named it after our farm because you can muddle in any fresh herb, berry, fruit, or even vegetable for innumerable variations. It is delicious when made with any one of our Simple Goodness Sisters syrups for instant, fresh garden flavor.

The Moscow Mule falls into the larger cocktail category of "Buck" cocktails, which are known for having ginger ale or ginger beer, citrus, and any number of base spirits. You can use vodka and ginger beer for a traditional Moscow Mule, or bourbon and ginger beer for a Tennessee Mule. A Kentucky Mule adds fresh mint to the Tenessee Mule ingredients (or you can use our Marionberry mint syrup) for a nod to the derby cocktail, the Mint Julep. These days, the Moscow Mule is such a popular cocktail that "bucks" and "mules" have come to have the same meaning. The Moscow Mule is known as a new classic. It doesn't go back as far as pre-prohibition, but it's beloved by many drinkers. The official mule was a cocktail born from a co-advertising effort between a soda company and a vodka brand. They combined their products in a fancy copper mug to distinguish the drink from others, and a classic was born.

This garden inspired mule has always been on the menu for our catering company, Happy Camper Cocktails. It's fast to make, it's delicious, and it's nearly universally loved. It's a great drink for a crowd or for serving at parties because you can make a ton of them very quickly. Better yet, you can set up a little bar with all of the ingredients and let people mix and match their own favorite spirit and syrup for a custom, DIY drink.

Nearly equally good as a mocktail, it's also very quick to make with just a few ingredients, making it great for parties, camping, a quick drink after work, going out on the boat, playdates in a park with your mom friends (we see you, and we salute you!) etc.

I promise you can recreate this in about 60 seconds at home, using any of our syrup flavors- we especially love how the berry flavors come through and add color!

The Simple Goodness Cocktail Farm Mule

Why it's great: quick, crowd pleasing, and interesting turn on the traditional Moscow mule.

makes 1 serving

Glass: copper mule mug or cocktail glass

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 ounces vodka
  • 1/4- 1/2 ounce (to taste, and depending on the spiciness of your ginger beer) any Simple Goodness Sisters syrup flavor, we particularly love the berry flavors
  • 3 ounces ginger beer (we love our locally brewed Timber City Ginger Beer, and recommend checking whether anyone around you makes a fresh brew, or look for a good spicy flavor sold nationally like Gosling's)
  • 1/6 of a lime, cut into a wedge
  • ice (crush it if you feel like it)
  • mint or berry garnish, optional but pretty!

How to make it: combine all ingredients in a rocks glass, stir well to combine, squeeze in the lime. That is it. And that's why I love this drink: unique, flavorful, and super fast.

Happy drinking, friends! Please continue to tag us on Instagram and facebook when you mix your drinks. We can't wait to see what you're making with SGS syrups!
