Imagine sitting around a crackling campfire, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature and the starlit sky above, there's something inherently magical about the experience. The scent of wood smoke fills the air, and the warmth of the fire brings a sense of comfort like no other. It's in these moments that the simple pleasures of life truly shine. To add to that sense of bliss is the Campfire Mule, a cocktail that captures this experience - infusing it with the flavors and aromas that make campfires so enchanting.
The classic Moscow Mule has long been a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts, known for its refreshing combination of vodka, mint simple syrup, ginger beer, and lime juice, all served over ice in a chilled copper mug. With Autumn right around the corner, it's the perfect time for a Campfire Mule, a cocktail that brings the essence of a cozy campfire right to your glass!
Campfire Magic in a Mug
To give your cocktail the fall treatment, you'll want to replace the vodka with bourbon or whiskey, the mint simple syrup with maple syrup, and the lime juice with lemon. But what truly makes this drink fireside bliss? Adding a smoky, toasted marshmallow garnish on top! Whether you're in the great outdoors or not, you'll feel like you're cozied up by the warm fire when you take a sip of a Campfire Mule cocktail.
If you do happen to be outdoors with a campfire going, carefully toast a marshmallow over the fire alongside your s'mores. You could also replicate the effect with a fireplace at home. However, without a fire you can roast your marshmallows with a blow torch or on a stick over a gas stove. This garnish is optional, but essential to channel the campfire vibes!
For a delicious alternative, you could use a combination of marshmallow-flavored vodka and crème brûlée liqueur instead of whiskey or bourbon for more vanilla, brown sugar, caramel flavors. You could even add an extra-fiery twist by using Fireball (or another cinnamon whiskey) in place of a regular one.
