Epic Blue Mule Cocktail is a fun twist on classic mules. Made with Blue Curacao, vodka, and ginger beer this is a fun twist on a classic.
Blue Mule
This Blue Mule is a great twist on the Classic Moscow Mule. We still serve it in a copper mug to keep the look of the original but change up the ingredients to make a fun blue cocktail.
I love being able to make unique spins on the Moscow Mule. Any excuse to pull out our copper mugs and make a delicious cocktail recipe.
Since we have been home so much and not traveling I decided to start playing with our favorite classic cocktails and our favorite cocktails from traveling. A couple of years ago we had the chance to visit a Curacao liqueur factory on the island of Curacao.
It was fascinating learning how the liqueur is made and sampling quite a few different colors and varieties. Did you know they make a green curacao. It is definitely not as as common as Blue Curacao.
I brought back a bottle of blue curacao from our tour and I have to tell you I have never been so nervous to open my suitcase when we got home. I put the bottle in a wine bag and wrapped it up in soft clothing but I was still super worried I was going to open my bag and find all of my clothes dyed blue.
Thankfully that did not happen though it did leak. Thank goodness for a perfectly sealed wine carrier bag.
