Maple Mules on the Yoder

The Moscow Mule is renowned for its invigorating and well-balanced flavor profile, making it a perennial favorite among cocktail enthusiasts. At its core, the cocktail blends the smooth, clean taste of vodka with the zesty kick of ginger beer, creating a vibrant and refreshing base. The addition of fresh lime juice introduces a tangy citrus note that brightens the drink and enhances its complexity. The interplay of these ingredients results in a harmonious blend of spicy, sweet, and tart flavors, all heightened by the effervescent ginger beer. When served in a chilled copper mug, the Moscow Mule offers a crisp and cooling experience, perfect for any occasion. The copper mug not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also enhances the drink’s refreshing qualities by keeping it icy cold. Whether sipped slowly or enjoyed as a quick refresher, the Moscow Mule delivers a delightful medley of flavors that dance on the palate.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 oz vodka
  • 2 oz grilled lime juice (roughly 4 limes)
  • 8 oz ginger beer
  • 1 tbsp Tapped Maple Syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to 500ºF and remove the diffuser/diffuser door. Install the Yoder Smokers Cast Iron Griddle over the fire box with the smooth side up.
  2. Slice the limes in half, then sear the cut side on the grill with the grill door open. This is simply to brown/caramelize the surface of the lime, not to cook them. When seared, remove and juice the limes, then strain the juice through a mesh strainer.
  3. Combine all ingredients. Whisk. Pour over ice in mule cups. Garnish with a slice of lime.
