(Moscow) Mule Variations

Tom Waits has an album called Mule Variations. Well, we have Moscow Mule variations! Our latest happy hour video (click here to watch) features the recipe for the classic Moscow Mule and the lovely Lori requested some variations on this classic drink on our Facebook page. We love those types of requests, so thank you, Lori! Here are a few. This drink is infinitely adaptable, so have fun playing with different liquors, liqueurs and sodas if you're a fan!

Sophisticated Mule

2 oz vodka

1/2 oz ginger liqueur

1/2 oz fresh lime juice

4 dashes of Fee Brothers plum bitters

Ginger beer

Shake all ingredients except the ginger beer with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, top with a splash of the soda and garnish with a slice of candied ginger.

Exotic Mule

1 1/2 oz vodka

1/2 oz ginger beer

1/4 oz fresh lime juice

4 oz DRY Sparkling Blood Orange Soda

Combine all ingredients in a highball glass with ice and stir.

Ginger Burro

2 oz Kahlua

4 - 6 oz ginger beer

It's fun to play around with classic cocktails and make them your own!
