Strawberry Mule
Bright, fresh and super easy, this Strawberry Mule gets a sunny twist by using lemon instead of lime. The lemon lifts the sweetness of the strawberries beautifully, while ginger beer brings that classic spicy kick. It’s an ideal warm-weather cocktail and a real crowd-pleaser.

TOP TIPS
· A strip of lemon peel muddled with the fruit adds extra citrus aroma.
· If you’d prefer a lighter version, replace some of the ginger beer with soda water for a fresher, less sweet drink.
· Save time by muddling the strawberries and lemon ahead of time and keep chilled, then just add the remaining ingredients just before serving.
