Sweet and smooth with a kick of spice from the ginger beer, these Moscow Mule Popsicles are a refreshing, boozy summer treat for the grown ups.
Now that summer is in full swing, I’ve been following the “frozen pop” scene pretty closely. (Although, I have to admit that it is more through Pinterest than in my actual kitchen.) I’ve been loving the idea of boozy popsicles for adults combined with fun fruit flavors or creamy textures.

How to Make Moscow Mule Popsicles
The recipe isn’t difficult but it does require a little bit of time since you make a ginger simple syrup to sweeten the pops. The effort is worth it for the double dose of ginger from the fresh ginger simple syrup and the ginger beer.
I would suggest making a double batch of ginger simple syrup to keep on-hand so next time you’re ready for boozy Moscow Mule Popsicles, you’ve already have it. Plus, you can use it to stir into iced tea, drizzle over ice cream or fresh berries…just whatever your heart desires.
To make Ginger Simple Syrup, bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and add fresh ginger. Steep for 30 minutes. Bring water back to a boil and stir in sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes or until sugar has dissolved. Strain whole ginger pieces out of the simple syrup.
Because popsicle molds run the gamut on sizes and volume, the yield for this recipe varies. Just make sure to follow the instructions on your popsicle molds before filling. Here are the popsicle molds I love using at home.
I like to give the pops a little extra time versus the traditional popsicle to freeze since it has both vodka and beer slowing down the freezing process. Once the pops are frozen, they’re ready to enjoy. If you’re serving after dinner or at a party and want to get creative, serve them out of traditional Moscow Mule mugs with lime slices. Grab some Moscow Mule mugs here if you don’t have any.
Just a few licks of these Moscow Mule Popsicles and you’re sure to declare every night in your house popsicle night!
