Red White & Blue Mule
- Prep time:
- 5min
- Total time:
- 5min
- Servings:
- 2
Ingredients
- 4 oz. vodka
- 8 oz. ginger beer
- Juice of 1 lime
- 6-8 fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/3 cup fresh blueberries, whole
- Sprig of mint, for garnish
- Lime wedge, for garnish
- Watermelon star and berry skewer, for garnish
Instructions
- Half all of the ingredients, except for the garnishes, and add them to two separate glasses.
- Before adding ice, muddle the berries into the vodka and ginger beer using the backside of a spoon.
- Give the mint a good slap between your hands and add it to the glasses. Slapping the leaves helps release the aromatics of the mint.
