Liven up any party with these refreshing Virgin Cherry Moscow Mules! With lime, ginger beer, and fresh fruit, they’re delicious and feel indulgent, especially on a hot day. Mocktails like this one are a bit of an obsession of mine. I’ve never been much for alcohol, so I always loved trying new virgin drinks. But since my Interstitial Cystitis diagnosis in 2014, anything that isn’t water always comes with a bit of risk. I only indulge when I’m very well hydrated and not in any pain, and I only drink a small amount, never going back for seconds. So when I’m choosing what to indulge with, the pressure’s on! It’s gotta be worth it, right? Well, in my book, you can’t go wrong with ginger beer and something fruity. Raspberries and blackberries work well here, too, if cherries aren’t your thing or just aren’t in season. Fresh or frozen fruit is fine, too. To your health!
