Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, simply skip the vodka or swap with sparkling water.
  • Make it your own: Use raspberries or blackberries, or add a splash of orange liqueur for a twist.
  • Best served ice-cold in a copper mug for ultimate refreshment.
  • Set up a DIY mule bar with various fruits, fresh herbs, and flavored ginger beers for parties.
  • If your strawberries aren’t very sweet, add ½–1 tsp simple syrup.
