Tips & Variations

Make the cinnamon simple syrup and peach puree ahead of time to save prep during your gathering.
Use frozen peach slices as ice cubes to keep the drink cold without diluting the flavors.
For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka and enjoy the mule as a mocktail.
If fresh peaches are unavailable, peach nectar or thawed frozen peaches make great substitutes.
To serve a crowd, multiply the recipe to create a pitcher, making mixing easy and fast.

Storage

Store the cinnamon simple syrup and peach puree separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, mix the individual ingredients fresh. The prepared mule is best enjoyed immediately, but you can refrigerate a batch for a few hours before serving. Avoid freezing as it may affect texture and flavor.
