Instructions
- Craft a vibrant blueberry syrup by simmering blueberries, sugar, water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan until the mixture thickens and berries break down, creating a luscious, deep purple elixir.
- Allow the blueberry syrup to cool completely, letting the flavors meld and intensify while the mixture transforms into a rich, glossy consistency.

- Pour vodka and freshly squeezed lime juice over the ice, creating a zesty base that promises tangy excitement.
- Generously splash ginger beer into the mug, watching the effervescent liquid cascade and create a lively, sparkling environment.
- Drizzle the cooled blueberry syrup on top, creating mesmerizing swirls of deep purple against the lighter cocktail backdrop.
- Gently stir the ingredients, ensuring the blueberry syrup, vodka, lime, and ginger beer harmonize into a perfectly balanced, refreshing libation.
- Garnish with a vibrant lime wedge, adding a final citrusy accent and visual appeal to this enchanting Moscow Mule variation.
Notes
- Experiment with different vodka brands to find your perfect flavor profile, as each brings a unique character to the cocktail.
- Crush some fresh blueberries directly in the mug for an extra burst of natural fruit intensity and visual appeal.
- Adjust the sweetness by controlling the amount of blueberry syrup, making it lighter or more intense based on personal preference.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka with sparkling water or club soda, maintaining the zesty ginger and fruity blueberry essence.
