How to make a Virgin Moscow Mule

To make a Virgin Moscow Mule, build over ice in a copper mug: 2 oz lime juice and 10 oz ginger ale.

Contains no alcohol as written. If you need to avoid alcohol completely, check labels: some products sold as non-alcoholic, like beers, wines and bitters, can contain small amounts.

You'll need

1 drink

The cocktail version: the Moscow Mule.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Fill a copper mug with ice cubes.

  2. 2

    Pour in lime juice.

  3. 3

    Top with ginger ale.

  4. 4

    Give it one gentle stir.

Why build it in the glass? Nothing here needs shaking, and pouring straight in keeps the ginger ale fizzy.
