Rhubarb Moscow Mule

Deliciously refreshing Rhubarb Moscow Mule!! We all need one!
Rhubarb Moscow Mule

Guess where I am writing from?? MOSCOW!! I know it’s just too cute, so I couldn’t resist not sharing a Moscow mule recipe.

I did make it my own and  actually Russian since there is absolutely nothing Russian about this drink apart from its name and vodka being one of the ingredients.

Anyway, I made my Moscow mule  with a homemade rhubarb syrup, which is delicious! And if you don’t like Moscow mules, you can pour the syrup over your pancakes or waffles or drink it straight. That stuff is pure gold!

Rhubarb Moscow Mule

Prior to this bartending experiment I’ve had a Moscow Mule once in Russia out of all places! I was visiting St Petersburg for a work conference and the organisers threw us a party at the end of it.

I was sipping on my drink when I decided to ask the bartender what it was.

-“St Petersburg Mule”, he replied.

-“Hmm, what did you change in the ingredient list to make it more St Petersburg?”, I asked.

-“Nothing”, he replied indignantly, ” but you are drinking it in St Petersburg!”

And this little anecdote pretty much tells you the story of the rivalry between the two capitals of Russia.

Rhubarb Moscow Mule

Alright, let’s talk about these Moscow Mules.

First of all, this cocktail is so refreshing you will want to have it nearby every time you are sitting outside basking in the sunlight.

Secondly, it’s a long drink and because you fill your glass with ice it’s not crazy alcoholic but it IS crazy delicious. The rhubarb syrup definitely adds tangy and fragrant notes to this Moscow mule not to mention the most gorgeous blush of pink and that’s how I like it!
