TUACA® Mule – A fun twist on the classic Moscow Mule! A citrusy vanilla liqueur adds tons of great flavor to a classic cocktail.
This summer I spent a weekend in Denver with one of my girlfriends. We shopped, toured the city, went to a baseball game, ate way too much, and had a few drinks. My friend was pretty ashamed that I had never tried a Moscow Mule before. She made it her mission to change that over the weekend. And I must say, boy had I been missing out! A super simple drink, but it is so good!
Today I am partnering with TUACA® to bring you not only one, but TWO versions of a Moscow Mule! TUACA® is a vanilla citrus liqueur that is made from Italian brandy. When you open the bottle and just smell it, you know you are in for a treat. You can smell the vanilla, the citrus and just get the warm and cozy feeling all over! It takes the Moscow mule to a whole new level, you aren’t going to want to go back to the original ever again!
After I had my first TUACA® Mule, I wanted to add in some other flavors. My first thought was pomegranate. That is kind of my go to when it comes to drinks, but I thought it would work really well with the citrus here. And boy was I right! All I did was add 1 oz of pomegranate juice to the mix, and topped with some pomegranate seeds. Looks all pretty and fancy, but so easy! So dress up that normal Moscow mule with TUACA® and you will not be disappointed!

We were first introduced to Tuaca through Bill’s uncle years ago with Hot Apple Pie. Yum! Will have to branch out a little now.

Very interesting recipe. Tuaca is sweet as is ginger beer…wondering if more lime is needed to balance out the drink. I guess there’s only 1 way to find out! 🙂
