This ginger beer mocktail recipe is the best easy non-alcholic drink! Virgin Moscow mules are a fresh, bright, refreshing way to celebrate any day.
As much as we’ve enjoyed making grown-up co*cktail recipes in the past (see our Aperol Spritz, Greyhound, and Mulled Wine if you’re into that), healthy non alcoholic mocktail recipes are actually my preference.
For functional health beverages, you won’t want to miss our Grapefruit Soda, Lemon Apple Cider Vinegar Drink, Hot Apple Cider Vinegar Drink, Detox Water Recipes, Dandelion Detox Tea, Green Detox Smoothie, Beet Juice, and Ginger Shots. Lavender Lemonade is another favorite.
Easy Ginger Beer Mocktail Ingredients
A great mocktail should have a few key elements: something just a little sweet (ginger beer here), something zingy and and acidic (lime juice), something fizzy like club soda or sparkling water, and a fresh herbal note like mint.
Sweet, spicy, and sparkling, ginger beer has long been one of my favorite mocktail recipe bases. My favorite is Reed’s Zero Sugar Extra ginger beer, which is sweetened with natural sugar-free sweeteners. You can find it at Trader Joe’s. Zevia also has a sugar free ginger beer, and other stevia-sweetened mixers.
What is a Moscow Mule?
According to my grandmother’s Old Mr. Boston Official Bartender’s Guide from 1935, a classic Moscow Mule is made with crushed ice, 1 1/2 oz. vodka, juice of 1/2 lime, and ginger beer.
Moscow mules are traditionally served in copper mugs, which is surely part of the fun. The classic Moscow mule makes an excellent super easy non alcoholic mocktail – simply omit the vodka. This virgin version is just as tasty, and so much healthier.
What to Serve with Mocktails

You can always go for low-fat salads and meals, but when it comes to the beverage section of the menu, you don’t really have many options. Milkshakes, sodas, co*cktails, mocktails, and a whole lot of tempting beverages, that make you wonder whether your diet to lose weight is really worth the effort.

I think you don’t generally have numerous alternatives. Milkshakes, soft drinks, mixed drinks, mocktails, and a mess of enticing refreshments, that make you wonder whether your eating routine to get in shape is extremely worth the exertion.
