Raspberry Rosé Mule

Raspberry Rosé Mule

Heading into full-on summer mode, I knew that a new weekend cocktail was in order. Who’s with me? Raspberries are in season and Rosé wine is my forever soul sister. Together, these ingredients make the most beautiful music. Read on to capture the full essence of my new Raspberry Rosé Mule.

Gorgeous raspberries take center-stage in the perfect summer cocktail – Raspberry Rosé Mule

I LOVE craft cocktails just like I love scratch-made craft food. Creating food and cocktails with my hands is my love language.

It’s so enjoyable to create a craft cocktail that takes a *little* time (READ: a little more time than just opening a bottle cap or popping a cork) and is undeniably refreshing and delicious.

In the summer, combining ripe berries with garden herbs in an absolute delicacy.

I love the way fresh, sweet berries burst with juice when muddled with the herby, grassy notes of mint or basil…or whatever herb is in your garden or CSA basket that week.

Fresh garden herbs can provide the grassy-nosed backdrop in your favorite summer cocktails. Fresh mint does this extremely well in this Raspberry Rosé Mule.

My garden is full of herbs so this provides a blank canvas for constant creation. I’m not sad about that 😉

What EXACTLY Is A Raspberry Rosé Mule?

A perfect summer combination: Peonies + a Raspberry Rosé Mule.

Here, in this refreshing summer cocktail, I combine some of my absolute favorite summer flavors of all time:

  • Raspberries
  • Fresh lime juice
  • Fresh Mint leaves
  • Ginger Beer (I love the slightly spicy kind)
  • Rosé Wine (Y’all. I could Rosé all day if I didn’t have to ‘adult.’ I LOVE ice-cold, dry French Rosé wine in the summer. GAHHH!)
  • A dash of raw, light-colored honey

For Starters…

Grab your cocktail shaker & muddler tool. If you don’t own a muddler, I must ask, “Why not?”

Ok, all joking aside, I understand a muddler tool is kind of a single-use item. So, in this instance I will move on and suggest you use something else to crush the raspberries and mint to release their juicy, herby flavors if you don’t own a muddler. Perhaps the end of a wooden spoon will do the trick!

Grab your fresh mint leaves and raspberries and muddle away until your mint leaves release a lovely aroma and the raspberries are left to only the pulp and seeds.

Add The Liquid Ingredients:

Next, you will add the juice of a lime, your favorite Vodka and Ginger Beer varieties (I like a slightly spicy Ginger Beer and a very clean Vodka), Rosé Wine and a little dash of honey.

Now…Shake, Shake, Shake!

Shake that shaker until all of the ingredients are combined and your honey is filtered throughout.

Pro Tip: Make sure all cocktail ingredients are at the same temperature for proper blending. If your honey is room temperature and your other ingredients are cold, the honey will get a little “gloppy” and not filter throughout your drink.

Pour + Enjoy!

Your last step is the easiest!

Cocktail shaker + a strainer are imperative tools when creating craft cocktails such as the Raspberry Rosé Mule.

Using your sieve top on the cocktail shaker, strain the liquid out of the shaker and pour into your favorite chilled glass filled with ice cubes. I love using my Nachtmann low ball glasses for this cocktail or a stemless wine glass to make it fun!

Garnish with additional mint leaves or a lime wedge + Enjoy!

After you’ve created this gorgeous, refreshing cocktail, head back over to the blog and check out the other inspirational recipes. I’m hopeful that you’ll find something to quench all of your summer desires!

Until next time…Eat Well. Travel Often. Love Much.

XOXO
