Pumpkin spice moscow mule is made with whiskey bourbon, ginger beer and lemon for a deliciously easy fall cocktail recipe!

A pumpkin moscow mule in a copper mug. You can see the ice in the cup and it's garnished with a lemon wedge and cinnamon stick. There's a red fall leaf and pumpkin next to the cup. You can see the bottle of whiskey and mason jar of homemade pumpkin butter in the background.

Moscow mules are one of my favorite drink recipes and not just because they’re served in those cool copper mugs.

I think it’s the ginger beer.  It just really sings to me.

These moscow mules are not just your average vodka-ginger beer-lime -mule recipe.

No, no, no my friends.  Since we’re going absolutely pumpkin crazy these days, I had to do it…

Pumpkin spice moscow mule

Oh yeahhhh…it’s like fall in a glass with a hint of sass.

(P.S. I totally didn’t mean to rhyme there).

Two moscow mules in copper mugs on a wood slice. There's a couple of fall leaves on the wood. The mugs have a lemon wedge and cinnamon stick garnish. You can see the ice in the copper mugs.

What’s in pumpkin spice moscow mules?

  • Whiskey Bourbon
  • Pumpkin Butter (recipe here)
  • Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • Cinnamon
  • Ginger Beer

That’s right. These babies are made with my easy homemade pumpkin butter, giving them all that Fall flavor with a hint of sweetness.

Almost like a whiskey infused pumpkin pie???…oh, heck yes.

I’m a whiskey lover, so that makes me a tad biased here, but god damn these babies are goooodd.

The bourbon has a slight vanilla-caramel flavor with a delicious smokiness making it the perfect fall cocktail for sipping by the fire.

Traditionally moscow mules are made with vodka, ginger beer and lime, but we’re using whiskey with a hint of pumpkin butter and fresh lemon juice to really make it pop.

Fun fact: A moscow mule using whiskey instead of vodka is known as a kentucky moscow mule.

Two copper mugs on a wood slice with ice in them and a lemon wedge and cinnamon stick. They're made with pumpkin butter you can see the mason jar in the background. You can see the bark on the wood slice with a red fall leaf.

Does a moscow mule have to be served in a copper cup?

Of course not.

The reason for using the copper mugs in a moscow mule is mainly for keeping the drink ice cold.

Even though the mugs are super cute, you do not need them in order to make a moscow mule. Simply serve in a glass over ice.

But, if you want to invest in some quality moscow mule mugs, here’s a set of four for under $8/mug :).

For some more Fall cocktails with bourbon try:

  • Gingered Bourbon Apple Cider Cocktail
  • Cinnamon Maple Whiskey Sour
  • Apple Cider Irish Mule

My Favorites

Air fried apple fritters on top of a cooling rack with parchment paper. They're dripping with brown butter glaze. There's a cup of coffee and red apple in the background with two whole cinnamon sticks.
A platter with crockpot corned beef, that’s tender and falling apart. Chunky potatoes, onions and carrots are on one side and fried green cabbage is on the other side. An easy and traditional St. Paddy’s day recipe.
A white bowl of homemade cauliflower gnocchi that have been pan fried and golden. They’re a copy cat version of Trader Joe’s
