Blackberry Moscow Mule

For a drink that's bright, bubbly, and built for warm weather, you'll savor every sip of this refreshing blackberry Moscow mule. There's something about a cold mule on a hot summer day that I crave, and this version — made with real blackberry purée, fresh lime juice, and spicy ginger beer — might be my favorite in the collection. It comes together in minutes with just a little stirring, and it's elegant enough for a dinner party but easy enough for a backyard cookout.

Notes

For an eight serving pitcher: Add 2 cups blackberry purée, 2 cups vodka, and ½ cup lime juice to a pitcher. Stir, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Right before serving, stir again. Add about ½ cup blackberry-vodka mixture per drink to a copper mug with ice. Top with 6 ounces ginger beer for each drink and gently stir.

To make blackberry purée, blend 6 ounces blackberries with ¼ cup water until smooth. This should yield about ¾-1 cup for approximately three to four drinks.
