Turmeric Ginger Mocktail Mule

Jump to recipe

Pumpkins aren’t the only ones amplifying autumn’s palette with captivating orange! This crisp, tantalizing mocktail melds substitutes orange juice for lime in a citrusy take on a classic mule. Our ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Turmeric Ginger Tea adds earthy, warm, and piquant notes, enhancing flavor while offering a wellness boost to this zingy, sophisticated ginger mocktail mule. 

Traditionally, a Moscow mule is made with vodka, lime, and spicy ginger beer. As well as opting for bright orange sweetness, we’ve replaced the ginger beer with ginger-flavored kombucha, retaining that piquant ginger lift while reducing sugar – especially when choosing a no-added sugar kombucha – and delivering gut-friendly probiotics. If you prefer the peppery spice of ginger beer, however, it’s a simple 1-1 swap and equally delicious. 

The potent, flavorful combo is a soothing invitation all on its own, helping to boost the body’s inherent immune response while supporting natural detoxification. In tandem with the other simple ingredients, this ginger mocktail mule offers just-right spice and sparkle as a happy hour refresher or a delectable zero-proof toast for the holiday season. 

Notes: 

• Try departing from tradition even further, pouring a splash of apple cider into the serving glass in place of any citrus! 
• Add more citrus! Go as juicy as you please. 
• Change up the garnish. We love rosemary sprigs, especially paired with orange, but thyme, mint, or even basil work well and look stunning. 
• **How to make an orange peel garnish: Take a long, thin strip of orange peel and wrap it tightly around a toothpick, straw, or chopstick. Squeeze the peel to shape it, creating a spiral shape and gently slide it off the holder. Not only does the result add decoration, the squeeze releases fragrant citrus oil.
