Recipe: Moscow Mule

Imagine a lime wedge balanced on the edge…

My mother-in-law sent me four copper mugs – the ideal vessels for delicious Moscow Mules. (Thanks river girls, Sue and Penny, for introducing her to this cold, perfect summer drink!)

Should I be concerned that I received four birthday gifts last week and three of them had something to do with alcohol? Nah.

RECIPE: Moscow Mule

Ingredients
1/2 a lime
2 oz. vodka
4 oz. ginger beer*

*Where to find ginger beer? I stopped at a liquor store and asked. They took me right to it.

Directions
Squeeze the lime into your class (or copper mug) and drop it into the bottom. Add a bunch of ice cubes. Pour in the vodka and fill with cold ginger beer. Stir and enjoy!
