Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon-Infused Simple Syrup

½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup water
1 stick cinnamon

Peach Moscow Mule

2 oz. peach puree (from about ½ fresh peach)
3 oz. ginger beer
1 ½ oz. vodka
½ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
½ oz. cinnamon simple syrup (from above)
Ice for serving
Optional garnish: peach slice, fresh mint leaves or basil

Instructions

Make the Cinnamon-Infused Simple Syrup: In a heavy-bottomed small saucepan, combine ½ cup water and ½ cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, add 1 cinnamon stick, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes up to 3 hours depending on desired cinnamon intensity. Strain out the cinnamon stick and transfer the syrup to a mason jar. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare Peach Puree: In a blender, puree about ½ of a fresh peach until smooth. If fresh peaches are unavailable, use thawed frozen peaches or peach nectar as alternatives.
Assemble the Peach Moscow Mule: In a copper mug or your preferred glassware, combine 2 oz. peach puree, 3 oz. ginger beer, 1 ½ oz. vodka, ½ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice, and ½ oz. cinnamon simple syrup. Stir well with a cocktail spoon to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve: Fill the glass with ice and stir once more to chill the drink thoroughly. Garnish with a peach slice or fresh herbs like mint or basil if desired. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Notes

The cinnamon-infused simple syrup recipe yields enough syrup for approximately 8 Peach Moscow Mules.
Substitute peach nectar or thawed frozen peaches if fresh peaches are not in season. Canned peaches without syrup can also work.
Both the cinnamon simple syrup and peach puree can be prepared in advance and refrigerated to save time on serving day.
To serve a crowd, multiply the recipe quantities to make a pitcher of Peach Moscow Mules.
Use frozen peach slices instead of ice cubes to chill the drink without diluting it.
