Not only is this cocktail a stunner, but it also comes with an added nutritional boost from the kale. Kale is high in vitamins C and K, plus iron, calcium, and antioxidants. It’s a powerhouse of health.
One of the best parts is that you can easily make this special green juice cocktail at home. For even more ravishing vegan cocktail inspiration, make sure to check out this delicious pink dragonfruit cocktail and our dreamy orange creamsicle recipes!

The MosKale mule cocktail recipe has just a few simple ingredient, and very simple prep. First you’ll prepare a simple green juice with fresh raw kale leaves and cucumber. Then you’ll make a classic moscow mule. And finally, you’ll add a splash of green juice to your cocktail and watch the magical green transformation!
To make this cocktail you’ll need:
You can certainly drink the MosKale Mule any way you’d like, but here are a few of our favorite tips for serving this beautiful kale cocktail:
First, you’ll need to wash your kale and cucumber. Take the leaves off of the kale stems, and cut a one-inch piece of cucumber. Next it’s time to juice them. A juicer separates vegetable or fruit juice from the pulp, which makes the liquid nice and smooth. In a juicer, feed the kale leaves and cucumber through the machine to make the juice.
Next, fill a glass with ice. Then pour in the ginger beer and Koskenkorva Vodka. Also squeeze in a tablespoon of lime juice. You can use a citrus squeezer or press, or you can simply use your hands to squeeze half a lime. Last, stir that baby up! Use a spoon or a cocktail stirrer to mix it together.
You’ll have leftover kale and cucumber juice. That means more MosKale Mules for you! You can also drink the leftover juice on its own as a green juice shot. Either way, it’s a win-win. If you want to make extra kale cocktails, double or triple the recipe.
You only need a few kitchen tools to make this kale-infused Moscow Mule. Here is what you’ll need:
Can I make a MosKale Mule without alcohol?
You can easily make a virgin cocktail without any alcohol. Simply leave out the vodka, and you’ll have a tasty and refreshing gingery green soda. Yum!
Can vegans drink alcohol?
Yes, they can! Vegans can drink alcohol as long as animal products are not used to make it. Hard liquors are almost always vegan if they don’t include cream or honey. Alcoholic beer and wine are not always vegan, though, so be sure to check the brand.
This MosKale Mule recipe is vegan because it uses zero animal products, and Koskenkorva Vodka is vegan, too.
Is all vodka vegan?
Plain vodka is almost always vegan by default. We don’t know of any examples of pure vodka that isn’t vegan—but flavored vodkas can occasionally contain, cream, honey, or other animal derivatives. Koskenkorva Vodka is fully vegan.
What is ginger beer?
Ginger beer is a non-alcoholic, carbonated drink that is bottled. It’s made with ginger, water, and fermented sugar. The beverage’s strong, spicy ginger flavor is delicious as a soda or in a cocktail like the MosKale Mule.
Can I make this without a juicer?
While we do recommend using a juicer for an easy-to-make smooth juice, it’s possible to use a high-speed blender instead. Add the kale leaves, cucumber, lime juice, and vodka to the blender and blend until smooth. Pour the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer to leave the pulp out of your cocktail. Then add the ginger beer to finish.
