Best Raspberry Mule Recipe (Ginger Beer Cocktail)

The Raspberry Mule is a delightful twist on the classic Moscow Mule, embodying the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors. Originated in the mid-20th century, the Moscow Mule gained popularity for its refreshing taste and distinctive copper mug presentation. The Raspberry Mule takes this tradition a step further by incorporating fresh raspberries into the mix, crafting a visually striking drink that's as tantalizing to the eyes as it is to the taste buds. The cocktail's effervescence and zingy ginger notes are complemented by the vibrant burst of raspberry, creating an experience that is equally suited for a cool summer evening or a spirited social gathering.
