Campfire Mule – A Moscow Mule Cocktail

Last Updated on October 10, 2022 by The Noms

A Campfire Mule topped with toasted marshmallows! This Moscow Mule is a great variation of the classic drink!

 

This Campfire Mule is perfect for when you are at a cabin or camping and you probably have marshmallows anyway! So toast those babies up and garnish your mules!

 

 

Nothing shows the beginning of fall quite like the smell of a bonfire. It brings to mind crunching through leaves, picking pumpkins and toasting marshmallows.

 

The combination of smoky mezcal and sweet amaretto makes this Campfire mule so tasty. By adding the citrus and spicy bite of the lime juice with ginger beer makes for a great sipper around the campfire as well as all year long!

Campfire Mule

The smokiness of this Moscow Mule is brought about by the smoky mezcal.  To make this cocktail a bit sweeter and add some great rich flavors, we used amaretto to add a bit of spice. This smoky sweet twist on the classic drink makes for a great campfire sip.

 

This sweet and smoky mezcal mule brings out the bite of the ginger and goes well with the sweetness of the marshmallows.

 

 

 

What Ingredients are Needed for the Campfire Mule Cocktail?

• Mezcal – mezcal is a distilled liquor made from agave. Once the agave are harvested they are roasted underground with hot coals where they come into direct contact with smoke. Not all mezcal is smoky. But our favorite brands are: Montelobos Espadin, Del Maguey Vida, or Illegal Joven.
• Amaretto – almond liqueur, which adds a nutty flavor to this mule!
• Lime Juice -a great citrus ingredient in every Moscow Mule!
• Ginger Beer – the bite of this carbonated beverage adds great ginger flavor to this cocktail. (Note: NOT ginger ale. The two are not the same!)
• Marshmallows – while optional, we think they are a great treat with your cocktail, and the toasted outside adds a lot to the drink, too!

 

 

Moscow Mule Recipes

We started out with the classic Moscow Mule recipe with lime juice and ginger beer. Of course the classic version uses vodka, but we wanted something darker and richer for this, and didn’t want to add a simple syrup, so we swapped the vodka for mezcal.

 

The added amaretto adds sweet, and the toasted marshmallows on top are great if you dunk them in the drink. They are tasty as snacks while sipping, too, so either way, it’s a win!

 

 

The crisp ginger beer gives a hint of a spicy bite and keeps the Campfire Mule from getting overly sweet while adding a bit of refreshing effervescent fizz. Toasted marshmallows are the ideal garnish, and gives a bit more toasted character to the Campfire Mule.

 

Unlike some of our other Moscow mule recipes like the Blueberry Cucumber Mule or our Caramel Apple Mule, this Mule is a bit more boozy. Also try our Maple Syrup Mule and Blackberry Sage Mule for more fall flavors.

 

 

 

The Campfire Mule gets its flavors from liquor rather than fresh fruit or flavored syrups, so the Campfire Mule can pack a real kick!

 

 

Cheers!
