    What You’ll Need to Make Peach Mules:

    This Peach Moscow Mule recipe requires just a few simple ingredients! They’re easy to make, easier to drink and the perfect way to enjoy peach season!

    • Vodka or Bourbon - A classic Moscow Mule cocktail calls for vodka. Vodka creates a neutrally flavored base that lets the fresh peach and ginger flavor sing! For a twist, try a Peach flavored Kentucky Mule made with bourbon! The barrel-aged whiskey will have natural notes of caramel and vanilla that taste great with the intense peach flavor!
      • Booze is optional! Moscow Mocktails are a delicious treat even the kids can enjoy on a hot day! Simply omit the alcohol for a peachy lime ginger soda!
    • Ginger Beer - Despite the name, most ginger beer is non-alcoholic. Our favorite brand is Fever Tree for it’s stronger ginger flavor. For a sweeter cocktail, feel free to substitute your favorite ginger ale.
    • Lime juice - We recommend fresh lime juice for the best results! You can try lemon juice for a slightly different flavor.
    • Peach Syrup - Our homemade peach syrup recipe is made from fresh peaches, sugar and water! We have included the recipe below, but be sure to check out the full recipe post for more insight and serving suggestions!

    Peach Syrup

    A homemade simple syrup recipe that is perfect for flavoring Summertime cocktails, mocktails, sweet tea and desserts!

    Serving the Mules

    The original Moscow Mule was served in an icy copper mug! Fun fact: the copper cup and original mule were forever bound in 1941. The inseparable union has a great American dream story involving a Russian immigrant, a ginger beer creator and the owner of a once failing vodka distillery: Smirnoff. The history of the Moscow Mule is a great story, I wish they could have tasted it with our Summer peach twist!

    We were able to score some traditional copper mugs at our local thrift store. They're perfect for keeping the drinks chilled to perfection. However, if you don't have copper mugs, feel free to serve this cocktail in your favorite glassware of choice. Be sure to garnish your Peach Moscow Mules with lime wheels, peach slices, cinnamon sticks or a sprig of fresh mint leaves.

    Peach Mule Pitchers

    Moscow mule cocktails are perfect for entertaining! Iy you don't want to build them individually to order, go ahead and make a pitcher! You can even make a build-your-own Peach Moscow Mule Bar with pitchers of non-alcoholic (kid-friendly) mules and bottles of add-your-own vodka and bourbon. It's perfect for barbecues, cookouts and Summer fun! Avoid watering down your Peach Mule Pitchers by using frozen peaches in place of ice cubes. It's extra beautiful and delicious! Here are the specs for over-sized pitcher pourers:

    • ½ Cup lime juice (100 milliliters + 1 Tablespoon)
    • ¾ Cup Peach Syrup (150 milliliters + 1 Tablespoon)
    • 3 Cups (24 ounces) Ginger Beer (700 milliliters)
    • Optional: 1 ½ Cups of vodka or bourbon (350 milliliters)
      • OR serve booze on the side and recommend 1½ ounces per cocktail! (3 Tablespoons)
    • Frozen Peach Slices (As needed, to keep your mules cold!)
