The Smarter Mule 🍋‍🟩

Moscow Mule cocktail ingredients with KSPtabs electrolytes — vodka, ginger beer, Topo Chico, lime, and copper mug

Cocktail Recipe

Classic cocktails are timeless for a reason — but sometimes they're even better with a modern upgrade. Enter The Smarter Mule: our refreshing take on the iconic Moscow Mule, crafted with a KSP Key Lime Hydration Tab for added electrolytes, a zesty citrus kick, and a clean, feel-good boost.

Perfect for happy hour with friends, poolside lounging, or anytime you want a crisp, balanced drink that doesn't just taste good but makes you feel good too.

Why "smarter"?

Most cocktails are tasty in the moment, but let's be honest — hydration isn't usually part of the mix. By dropping in a KSP Key Lime tab, you're not only elevating the flavor but also giving your body a boost:

Potassium
An electrolyte and mineral that helps regulate blood pressure, heart rate, and bodily fluids — and helps prevent bloating and muscle cramps.
Citrate
Supports a normal urinary pH and helps reduce calcium crystal saturation — a basic building block of kidney stones.
Magnesium
Supports digestion and eases cramps, aches, and spasms. Improves circulation, helping keep uric acid moving until it's expelled, and binds to oxalate — another building block of kidney stones.
Vitamin B6
Supports energy metabolism and helps your body process electrolytes efficiently.

It's a cocktail that works with you, not against you.
