Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon-Infused Simple Syrup
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1 stick cinnamon
Peach Moscow Mule
- 2 oz. peach puree (from about ½ fresh peach)
- 3 oz. ginger beer
- 1 ½ oz. vodka
- ½ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ oz. cinnamon simple syrup
- Ice for serving
Instructions
- Make the Cinnamon-Infused Simple Syrup: Measure out the water and sugar into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, add cinnamon stick, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes to 3 hours to infuse the syrup with cinnamon flavor. Strain the syrup and refrigerate until use.
- Prepare the Peach Puree: Blend about half a fresh peach until smooth to make the puree. Alternatively, use peach nectar or frozen peaches if fresh is unavailable.
- Mix the Cocktail: In a copper mug or preferred glass, combine the peach puree, ginger beer, vodka, freshly squeezed lime juice, and cinnamon-infused simple syrup. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Serve: Top the drink with ice and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- The cinnamon-infused simple syrup recipe yields enough for approximately 8 Peach Moscow Mules.
- Substitute peach nectar or frozen/canned peaches (without syrup) if fresh peaches are unavailable.
- Both the cinnamon simple syrup and peach puree can be prepared ahead of time for convenience.
- For entertaining, multiply the recipe to create a pitcher. Use frozen peach slices instead of ice cubes to prevent dilution during serving.
