Make a Moscow Mule - Wine Based with exact single-serve ingredients and method, plus a pitcher version and the Craft Standard build for serving it on tap.

The short answer

A Moscow Mule - Wine Based combines wine vodka in a zesty, gingery and refreshing mule. Make one with the recipe below; when you need a full service rather than a single glass, the keg build scales the same idea without scaling the prep.

Make a pitcher

8 cocktails
  • 14 oz Wine Vodka
  • 4 oz fresh lime juice
  • 24 oz (3 cups) ginger beer

For a pitcher of eight, multiply every still ingredient by eight and chill the mix before service. Add soda, ginger beer or any other sparkling ingredient to each glass just before serving; batching carbonation early makes the drink go flat.
