Author Notes
Moscow Mules are our “go-to” cocktails when we want something beyond wine or beer. Here, I give it a summer twist with the addition of raspberries and lime basil.
You may substitute 2 tablespoons of lime juice for the basil if you don't have any lime basil. —SavvyJulie
Ingredients

1/3 cup

With a mortar and pestle, grind the raspberries and lime basil together until the leaves are completely crushed.

Transfer the raspberries to a large Mason jar or pitcher, and cover with the vodka and ginger ale.

Using a fine sieve or piece of cheesecloth, strain the liquid, pressing on the solids with a wooden spoon to squeeze out the juice. Discard the solids.
