RECIPES | A Moscow Mule is one of our favourite cocktails to enjoy in the summer, with the ginger beer base providing a refreshing bite on a hot day. When Bundaberg Drinks asked us to develop a cocktail, putting a twist on this classic was an easy choice.
We’ve made it even more refreshing by turning the cocktail into a granita/slushie, and adding watermelon. The result is a delicious, refreshing treat.
Preparation Time: 5 minutes / Cooking time: 5 hours / Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (375ml) Bundaberg Ginger Beer
- ¼ seedless watermelon, juiced
- ½ lime, juiced
- 6 mint leaves
- 60 ml vodka (can be omitted for a non-alcoholic version)
Method
- Mix together the ginger beer, watermelon, and lime juice.
- Place the mixture in a shallow tray and put into the freezer for an hour. After an hour, use a fork to break apart the crystals, and repeat every hour for 4 hours.
- You should now have a granita texture. Pour into a glass and garnish with mint leaves, and a sliver of lime and watermelon.
Notes
If you can’t juice/blend the watermelon, dice it into as small pieces as possible.
If you have an ice-cream maker, you can save time and effort by putting all the ingredients into it instead of the fridge.
