To add a flash of green, some mango peel or even a sprig of mint can bring a touch of welcome color contrast and an overall lift to the experience.
Common questions
Still looking for tips and inspiration for Absolut Mango Mule? We’ll leave you with these commonly asked questions.
The Absolut Mango Mule is a variation of the Moscow Mule — which is why it’s sometimes called the Mango Moscow Mule. The Mango Mule simply replaces classic vodka with Absolut Mango vodka and is garnished with a mango wedge instead of lime.
Absolutely delicious. The zesty citrus lime and rich, fruity mango flavor is complemented by spicy hints of ginger. This gives it a well-rounded, refreshing taste with balanced sweetness. Perfect for summer gatherings or any evening hanging out with friends.
Absolutely! Choosing the right glassware is an important part of the overall drink experience. So, if you don’t have a mule mug, don’t worry – a rocks glass or highball glass both work well.
Technically speaking, yes you can use ginger ale instead of ginger beer to make a mule. However, it’s important to note that you’ll end up with a drink that’s sweeter, milder drink with less spice, changing the drink’s signature “zing.”
Yes, you can! The Absolut Mango Mule is not only easy to make but also simple to scale for batch cocktails. Tip! Mix vodka and fresh lime juice in a pitcher in advance but wait to add the ginger beer and ice until serving to ensure the drink stays fizzy and fresh.
