Moscow Mule

Recently, I've been seeing a lot of bar go-ers enjoying a beverage in a copper mug... These drinks are referred to as a "Mule". It was one of the most popular drinks in the 1950's, and is appearing to be making quite the comeback, so I decided to try one out myself. Much to my surprise, it very delightful and quite refreshing. With warm weather right around the corner, here is a recipe for the classic Moscow Mule. There are other variations such as a peach mule, blueberry or an apple cider, but we'll just stick to the classic for now.

You will need: 

1. Regular Vodka

2. Ginger Beer 

3. Lime Juice

This beverage is very simple to make, what you do is....

1. Pour your desired amount of vodka over ice in a cup. 

2. Add a splash of lime juice 

3. Fill the remainder of the cup with ginger beer.

If you happen to have a copper mug then feel free to use this as your cup. However I'm sure a mason jar, or a regular glass cup would be just fine. That's it, three easy steps to a deliciously refreshing beverage for those upcoming summer months. However, you don't need to wait until then to try one of these things.

The Red Carpet

One of the biggest nights in the entertainment industry is in just a few days. The Oscar's air this Sunday at 7:30, bringing together all of Hollywood's a-list. Even if though aren't one of the lucky one's to be in attendance doesn't mean you can't celebrate like them. So gather your closest friends, get the snacks, and get ready for The Red Carpet. The drink of course.... 

What you will need: 

1 bottle of white wine- Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Riesling would be best

2 cups pomegranate juice

1 liter of ginger ale

1 bottle of champagne 

Pomegranate seeds for a garnish- not completely necessary 

To prepare:

1.     Mix together the wine, juice, and ginger ale. Stir until well mixed.

2.     Pour into glass until half full. Top with champagne

3.     Garnish with pomegranates seeds

4.     Enjoy!

Tip: Don’t mix in the champagne until you’re actually serving so that the drink will be extra bubbly.

If you’re making for a large group, you could mix in the champagne in the pitcher and it would work as well.
