Elevate Your Mule Drink with Muscato Wine

When it comes to the world of wine, you might be familiar with the tangy, fruity Muscat, often referred to as Moscato in Italy. However, California Muscat unveils a whole new range of styles and flavors. From medium-bodied and dry or off-dry varieties to sparkling sensations and full-bodied, late-harvest treasures, the world of California Muscat offers a wide spectrum of deliciously sweet wines.

But if you're in the mood for a truly indulgent experience, explore the world of full-bodied, late-harvest Muscat wines. These luscious nectars are the pinnacle of sweetness, boasting rich flavors of ripe fruits and honey. Each sip is like a luxurious dessert in a glass1

Berry Goodness From California

This tasty Californian take on the Moscow Mule is loaded with berry goodness. You can choose any berries you like. If you’re hosting a get-together, muddle a big bowl of berries in advance and stow them in the fridge for up to 1 day.  Since Muscat wine varies in sweetness, the wine you choose will dictate how sweet the finished mules are.

A Match Made In Heaven: Embrace the Zesty Kick of Ginger Beer in Your Muscato Mule

The ginger beer brings the party to this cocktail. The zesty and fiery kick adds a bold and refreshing element to the naturally sweet and aromatic profile of Muscato wine. The combination a dynamic contrast that enhances the overall drinking experience, giving your Muscato Mule that extra oomph.

Go for a ginger beer that's bold and feisty, made with natural ingredients. Adjust the amount to your liking, a subtle hint of spice or a fiery ginger explosion.

Step-by-Step Guide to a Picture-Perfect Muscato Mule

Now, my friend, it's time to roll up those sleeves and become a master mixologist:

Step 1: Reserve and Muddle the Berries

Before diving into the cocktail-making extravaganza, set aside a handful of berries for garnish. Then, take the remaining berries and place them in a bowl. Grab a muddler (or the back of a spoon) and gently muddle the berries to release their juicy goodness. Let the berries sit for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to intensify

Step 2: Split and Prepare the Mugs or Glasses

It's time to get those beautiful copper mugs or cocktail glasses ready for action! Split the berry mixture evenly between the two, ensuring that each glass gets its fair share of fruity deliciousness. The vibrant colors of the berries will make the presentation a feast for the eyes.

Step 3: Wine Time

Now, let's add a splash of wine to our berrylicious creation. Pour 4 ounces of your preferred Muscat wine into each glass, allowing it to mingle with the muddled berries. The wine will bring its own unique flavors and aromas to the cocktail, complementing the berry medley.

Step 4: Ice, Ice, Baby!

To keep things refreshingly cool, top each glass with a generous amount of ice. The ice will not only chill the cocktail but also dilute it slightly, ensuring a well-balanced sip. Give the glasses a gentle stir, allowing the flavors to marry harmoniously.

Step 5: Ginger Beer and Garnish Galore

Now, it's time to add some sparkle and zing to our berrylicious creation. Fill each glass with your preferred amount of favorite ginger beer. It will bring its signature spiciness, perfectly complementing the fruity notes of the berries and wine.

Don't forget the garnish! Take the reserved berries and place them atop the cocktail, allowing them to float gracefully on the surface. Add a lime wedge for a tangy burst, a sprig of fresh mint for a touch of aromatic delight, and watch as your masterpiece comes to life.
