If you're looking to elevate your cocktail repertoire, the Hibiscus Mezcal Mule is here to offer a bold, refreshing take on the traditional Moscow Mule. This vibrant concoction blends smoky mezcal, smooth vodka, and the delicate floral notes of hibiscus tea, creating a cocktail that's as flavorful as it is visually stunning. Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a cozy evening at home, this drink is sure to impress.
Why This Recipe Stands Out
The beauty of the Hibiscus Mezcal Mule lies in its balance of flavors. Mezcal brings a smoky depth, while Reyka Vodka adds a crisp smoothness. The wild hibiscus tea introduces a delicate floral note that pairs perfectly with the zesty lemon and fizzy Fever-Tree Club Soda. Topped with an edible hibiscus flower, this cocktail isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience.
Ingredients:
- Juice of 1/2 a fresh lemon 🍋
- 1 oz Reyka Vodka
- 1 oz Montelobos Mezcal
- 3 oz Wild Hibiscus Tea (brewed and chilled)
- 2 oz Fever-Tree Premium Club Soda
- Edible hibiscus flower for garnish 🌸
- Ice cubes
Instructions:
-
Prepare Your Glassware: Start by filling your favorite Moscow Copper Co. mug with ice. The chill of the copper mug will keep your cocktail perfectly cool.
-
Mix the Base: In your ice-filled mug, pour in 1 oz of Reyka Vodka and 1 oz of Montelobos Mezcal. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon to add a zesty kick that balances the smoky mezcal.
-
Add Hibiscus Tea: Brew and chill 3 oz of wild hibiscus tea, then pour it into your mug. The floral notes of the tea will complement the depth of the mezcal and brighten the overall flavor.
-
Top It Off: Finish the drink by topping it with 2 oz of Fever-Tree Premium Club Soda. This will give the cocktail a refreshing fizz that elevates each sip.
-
Garnish: For the final touch, garnish your Hibiscus Mezcal Mule with an edible hibiscus flower. Not only does it add a pop of color, but it also emphasizes the floral undertones of the drink.
Why You’ll Love It
This cocktail is the perfect blend of flavors: it’s floral, citrusy, and has just the right amount of smokiness from the mezcal. The Reyka Vodka keeps it smooth, while the hibiscus tea adds a unique floral layer that’s perfect for those who enjoy experimenting with new, refreshing tastes. The lemon juice gives it a tart kick, and the Fever-Tree Club Soda adds that all-important fizz to make it light and easy to sip.
The edible hibiscus flower garnish adds a touch of elegance, making it an ideal drink for dinner parties, special occasions, or simply treating yourself to a unique cocktail.
When to Serve
The Hibiscus Mezcal Mule is versatile enough to be served year-round. Its floral notes make it refreshing for spring and summer gatherings, while the smoky mezcal makes it a cozy option for fall or winter nights by the fire. Plus, it pairs wonderfully with a range of appetizers and meals, from light salads to smoky grilled dishes.
So grab your copper mug, mix up this delightful drink, and let the sipping begin. Cheers to new adventures in cocktail-making! 🍹✨
