Ginger Beer

Ginger beer cocktails

Two spicy highballs: Moscow Mule (vodka, lime) and Dark 'n' Stormy (dark rum, lime) — ginger beer, not ginger ale.

Ginger beer cocktails in this catalog are two highballs that share a mixer and split the spirit. The Moscow Mule is vodka, lime, and ginger beer; the Dark 'n' Stormy is dark rum, lime, and ginger beer. Ginger ale is milder and sweeter and will not mark these ready. There is no Gin-Gin Mule or Mexican Mule on this list — those would need gin or tequila recipes we do not carry here.

Ginger Beer cocktail FAQ

What cocktails can I make with ginger beer?

Moscow Mule and Dark 'n' Stormy. Same spicy mixer; vodka versus dark rum. A copper mug is optional.

What to mix with ginger beer for an easy cocktail?

Vodka and lime for a Moscow Mule, or dark rum and lime for a Dark 'n' Stormy. Easy ginger beer cocktails do not need a shaker. Ginger ale is not a 1:1 swap if you want the spice.
