Make Your Own Moscow Mule

Enter the very first cocktails we made when we got our new bar area.

The ever so popular Moscow Mule!

It seems like these cocktails are all the rage lately and since we found a great deal on these awesome copper mugs, we figured why not give them a try at home. They were a nice change from my normal glass of Pinot Noir and are so refreshing! 

Let's mix it up:

Pour vodka and lime juice into a mug.
Add ice cubes and ginger beer (we bought this type from World Market). Stir to combine.
Drop a mint sprig into the mug for garnish.

That simple, friends!

*Tip: Crush up your ice as much as you can. It's better when it's really crushed. Also, these can certainly be made without the copper mugs and in normal glasses, but they do totally give it an extra somethin' somethin', so if you can get them do it! We plan to use them for other cocktails as well.

Cheers!

I'm off to pretend I'm back in college again celebrating thirsty thursday's (seems like forever ago, ahh!) with one of these...who's with me?
