I’ve always loved the sparkling kick of a good Moscow Mule, but I wanted to create a version that aligns with my plant-based lifestyle.

This recipe is perfect for those warm evenings when you just want to unwind with something zesty and refreshing.

Plus, it reminds me of summer gatherings with friends—there’s something about the copper mug and the fizz that just feels festive!

Always make sure to use fresh ginger for that extra zing.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using fresh ginger for that real punch of flavor, but if you can only find powdered ginger, you can substitute it—just use much less, maybe about a quarter teaspoon. And make sure your ginger beer is vegan; some brands sneak in non-vegan ingredients, so check the label!

Tips & Notes

  • I like to keep my ginger root wrapped in a paper towel in the fridge—it stays fresh longer!
  • If you want a little extra kick, throw in a dash of cayenne pepper.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I swap out the ginger beer for sparkling water if I want something lighter.
  • You can add a splash of fresh fruit juice, like cranberry or pineapple, for a fun twist.

Storage & Freezing

This drink is best enjoyed right after it's made, but if you happen to have leftovers, store the ginger-lime mixture in the fridge for up to a day. Just remember to add the ginger beer fresh when you're ready to enjoy it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

I recommend making it fresh so the ginger beer stays fizzy, but you can prep the ginger-lime mixture in advance and just add the ginger beer right before serving.
