Blackberry Cucumber Mule Recipes

Steps:

• Muddle blackberries, cucumber, and mint in the smaller half of a cocktail shaker. Add vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup and fill with ice. Shake until well chilled, about 12 seconds. Double-strain into an ice-filled collins glass, pour the ginger beer down the side of the glass, and give it a brief, gentle stir. Garnish with mint sprig and cucumber wheel, plus a straw if you have one.

Steps:

• Add the lime juice, mint leaves, ginger and 9 of the blackberries to a cocktail shaker. Muddle until the mint breaks down into small flecks, the blackberries into small pieces and the ginger into pieces half their original size.
• Add the vodka and some ice to the shaker; shake until combined. Strain into three Mason jars. Pour 4 ounces of the ginger beer over each cocktail. Garnish with a mint sprig and 2 blackberries held together with a toothpick.

Steps:

• Add the mint leaves and cucumber slices to a glass and muddle to combine. Add 1 cup ice and the lime juice, then top with the ginger beer. Garnish with the lime wedge and mint sprig.

Steps:

• Muddle the blackberries with 1 of the lime wedges in a cocktail shaker. Add the vodka and some ice and shake well. Strain into a copper mug filled with ice. Top off with ginger beer and garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
