The classic Moscow Mule is made with vodka, lime, and ginger beer—but it’s even better with a kick of fresh ginger. This version skips the soda and heads to the blender for a spicy, frozen, highly slurpable drink that’s even more refreshing. Chilling the mixture in advance for one to two hours in your freezer means it won’t melt the ice immediately and retain optimal slushy consistency. Plus, it’s a quicker trip from the freezer to blender to glass when you’re ready to sip. Muscovado sugar adds complex flavor, but dark brown sugar will work in a pinch.
