MY COCKTAIL OF THE SEASON: MOSCOW MULE. I have slightly altered it for the LA audience.
LA MULE
1½ oz. Vodka
¾ oz. fresh lime juice from Bennett Farms
¾ oz. simple syrup from TJ's
1 oz. organic ginger beer
- Add all of the ingredients to a mixing glass.
- Add ice and shake, then strain into a ice filled copper cup
- Garnish with a lime wheel and a piece of candied ginger
Oh and if you don't have a copper cup, you can serve it in a Mason Jar and use your stolen silver stirrer from Roger Room.
A Moscow Mule is a buck or mule cocktail made with vodka, ginger beer, and lime which was popular during the vodka craze in the United States during the 1950s. The name refers to the popular perception of vodka as a Russian product.
