moscow mule

I apologize in advance this post is 5 hours late, but LIFE went all crazy on me this morning, so without further ado here it is . . . . 

I was feeling adventurous and transformed my innocent, delicious homemade ginger beer recipe into a Moscow mule, and let’s just say; I’ve been smiling ever since. 🙂 #myeyesaretight

When it comes to cocktails, wine, or any alcoholic beverage, I have this 3 rule policy I only drink on special occasions. **And NO my life is not this ordered**, but, generally speaking, it would fall under one of these occasions:

* Wedding Anniversary

* Vacation

* My birthday

Today’s post falls under drum roll please (!!!!!)

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!  🙂

two drinks

That’s right! Thursday, July 30th  I celebrate #3 years of life, and I’m so blessed and thankful for each year.

And on that note, let’s get this party started!
Moscow Mule

Believe me when I say I’m no barista, but I quickly learned I don’t have to be to make this classic cocktail. All you need is ginger beer, some vodka, a few sprigs of mint leaves, lime, and ice- and you have yourself the perfect summer cocktail.

Make no mistake, this drink is the quiet type.  It’s soft, smooth (oh boy is it smooth) full of gingery -lime aromas alluring in taste it complemented and enhanced my salad leaving me on the perfect high note.

Tip: If you really wanna throw caution to the wind add in a jalapeno do it! Let’s just say I tried it and we may or may not know how many drinks I had! 🙂

MOSCOW MULEI made enough to share you didn’t think I was drinking alone, did you?

So let’s raise a mug and observe the beauty of this Moscow Mule and my birthday.

Cheers!
