Moscow Mules

Moscow Mules

 

Use the empty lime halves as a mini-muddling bowl inside the cocktail glass

 

These are our go-to drinks when we want to make something tasty and strong! With four main ingredients you can't go wrong with this cocktail. A good quality vodka is important in this drink. We prefer Belvedere Vodka since it is the smoothest/best tasting for its price point. Feel free to add a little simple syrup if desired. Personally I like to skip the sweetener and let the natural flavors speak for themselves. Bonus points if you serve them in copper mugs! 

A good quality ginger beer will make all the difference. Avoid artificially flavored ginger ale at all costs!!!
