The mixture

This is how the tap works

  1. 1

    Squeeze and filter the limes

    Squeeze the limes and be sure to strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter. No pieces of pulp should remain in the juice, otherwise the tap valve in the keg will become blocked later.
    WINKY Hack: Save one or two untreated limes to cut fresh wedges for decoration later.
  2. 2

    Combining aromas in the keg

    Pour the vodka, strained lime juice, and ginger syrup directly into the two-liter Cocktail Keg. Stir well with a long bar spoon to ensure the syrup is completely combined with the alcohol and juice.
    WINKY Hack: If you like it particularly spicy, you can choose a ginger syrup with chili extract or add a few drops of cocktail bitters (e.g. Angostura).
  3. 3

    Fill with water and cool down.

    Now pour exactly 900 ml of still water into the base, so that it reaches the two-liter mark precisely. Seal the keg tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, until the liquid is ice-cold.
    WINKY Hack: The still water is the game changer here: it replaces the meltwater from shaking and binds the carbon dioxide perfectly through the strong cooling.
  4. 4

    Carbonate and serve properly

    Once the drink is ice-cold, connect the CO2 cartridge and pressurize the keg. Fill copper mugs (or highball glasses) to the brim with ice cubes. Pour the refreshing Moscow Mule fresh and garnish with a generous sprig of mint and a lime wedge.
    WINKY Hack: Before decorating, briefly tap the mint leaves on the back of your hand. This breaks open the delicate cells, allowing the wonderful mint aroma to immediately fill your nose when you drink.

About this drink

A Moscow Mule is refreshing, spicy, and invigorating – exactly what a good party needs. The combination of smooth vodka, the tangy heat of intense ginger, and the tangy freshness of limes makes this drink irresistible.

To serve this cocktail in a keg with absolute bar quality, we use a pro trick: Instead of using ready-made ginger beer, which loses its carbonation when transferred, we create our own ginger lemonade directly in the keg. High-quality ginger syrup, vodka, still water, and finely strained lime juice form the perfect base. Chilled and pressurized with CO2, the carbonation blends ideally with the ingredients. The result is an ice-cold, incredibly refreshing Mule, whose sharp ginger notes dance even more intensely on the tongue thanks to the fine bubbles. Served in a traditional, frosted copper mug, this is an absolute premium experience for your guests.
