This Lavender Moscow Mule will awaken your tastebuds. It’s extremely refreshing and requires just five ingredients!

Lavender Moscow Mule 3

Oh yeahhhhh–it’s Monday and we’re DRINKINNNNNN’ a lavender moscow mule!

How was your weekend? What did you doooooo? I shall not tell you about my weekend because I did nothing. Well, by “nothing” I mean that Miguel and I saw ‘Black Mass’ (crazy movie, btw) and I got coffee with a friend so…. sort of close to nothing. It was good though! 

I also just realized that it’s been a month since Miguel and I went to Puerto Rico. Bahhhhhh how?! In a way that makes sense, but in another way it feels like it was just yesterday. Stay with me—there’s a reason why I’m bringing this up. Warm weather, beautiful beach, killer resort, delicious cocktails….. you get where this is going. While in PR, we stopped at a bar called La Factoria, where they made and served many unique drinks. One of their most popular drinks? A lavender mule. From the moment I took my first sip I knew I wanted to recreate it. IT WAS SO GOOD I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE HAD MULTIPLE. Ok I did. 

Lavender Moscow Mule 1

Truthfully, I tried my first ever moscow mule about three months ago, so to say I’m obsessed would probably be a lie BUT, they are so, so good. And refreshing! Know what else is refreshing? Lavender. I went through a brief lavender obsession in May when I made these Lemon Lavender Muffins with Honey Yogurt Glaze but then I kind of forgot about it. Before PR, I’d never tried in a drink but man—it is just as refreshing as it sounds.

Can I give you a piece of life advice? When you’re standing on a tall step stool shooting photos and your overhead fan is on, do NOT, under any circumstances, remove your hand from the camera and throw it in the air. The fan WILL hit your hand and it WILL hurt. Like, one of those hurts where it hurts so bad you start laughing to keep from crying. Yeah…. FUN. 

Thank goodness for alcohol to numb the pain HAHA……half kidding. If you’re looking for a super refreshing lavender-ginger bev, this is it, and if you’re looking for another ginger beer cocktail, check out this pineapple punch.

    Is the lavender you use fresh or dried? My garden is exploding with fresh lavender flowers right now!!

      I used dried lavender… I’ve never worked with fresh lavender so I can’t say for sure whether or not it’d work.

    I know this post is over a year old but I had to tell you that my girlfriends and I went to Puerto Rico last month and had the Lavender Moscow Mule at La Factoria which is why I decided to google a recipe! So glad to have found your site and this recipe!

      This is SO delayed (remaking a similar recipe now) and I just realized that I also went to La Factoria and that’s where I got the inspiration for this recipe. Small world! They have the best cocktails there.

    This looks awesome. Never thought of using lavendar in a Mule…very curious to see how it blends with the ginger beer. Thanks for recreating this…its on our “to do” list for the weekend. 🙂

    Why aren’t you here to make one of these for me? I was at Sur La Table last night buying a marble slab and saw copper mugs but was like “no one to make Moscow Mules with…”. You are such the cocktail mistress, I love it.

    I have never tried a moscow mule! I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Your lavender version sounds incredible and I have a feeling it would be the perfect place to start! It’s funny, I wouldn’t expect PR to serve something like this but I like it, A LOT.

    p.s. Your photos are gorgeous, lady! Totally worth the hand damage in the fan, lol!

    This is GORGEOUS. I just tried a Moscow Mule the other day and was not a fan, I think the bartender went to cray with the ginger beer (not a ginger girl) – but I think adding the lavender would change my mind. My go-to drink is a vodka tonic with lime!

      Oh no! Yeah if you don’t like ginger the moscow mule’s probably aren’t your drink ahah vodka tonic is ALWAYS a safe/good choice.

    Yum! I just tried a Moscow mule for the first time a few months ago too. I rarely order cocktails, so I’m not in the know of what the “trendy” drinks are.

  • HI! I feel like it’s been a minute and I want to chat HEALTH. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the last couple months, I’ve been feeling kind of off. My migraines are becoming more frequent (again), and I’ve been experiencing almost daily nausea for two months. As 2019 comes to an end, I must say there are a couple things I’ve learned. 1) Every BODY is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. This is something I’ve always known, but I kind of forgot to remind myself of it throughout the year. 2) LISTEN TO YOUR GUT. We all have gut instincts on what to do when something seems “off”. If you’re me, you tend to quiet that voice (bc HIIII I’m super stubborn), but don’t! I knew months ago that I should seek the help of a functional medicine doctor to try to get to the root cause, but waited until a couple weeks ago to actually go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wanted to talk about this awhile ago, but kept telling myself it wasn’t important and that so many people have it worse. And, I didn’t and still don’t want to sound complain-y. But, the truth is, we all have SOMETHING and though I don’t have it all figured out quite yet, I’m hopeful that 2020 will be the year I truly heal my migraines/joint pain/nausea 🤞🏻 If you’ve also been feeling off recently, just know that I’m right there with you. *more in my stories*
