The Classic (with a twist): Kentucky Mule
This is my favorite cocktail. I'm sure you've heard of the Moscow mule. This is similar, but with bourbon instead of vodka.
Ingredients:
ice
2 oz. bourbon
4-6 oz. ginger beer
1/2 oz. lime juice (I use 2 small squirts)
To make:
Put in ice. Pour in all the things. Stir.
*Tip: Invest in copper mugs/Moscow mules. You can get them at Target for $25, and they're awesome. They really do keep the drink cooler longer as well. (I've tested this for you.)

No an alcoholic beverage but I had a "purple cow" the other day. Ice cream in grape soda, whaaaat? Not as tasty as a root beer float, but props to the restaurant for coming up with such a fun beverage.

These all sound so fabulous!! I really love mules but rarely ever order cocktails. Usually I just get beer or wine. I need to venture out more!
ReplyDeleteThose all sound so good! Especially the Smoked Apple & Kentucky Mule.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I totally forgot about this linkup. I'm gonna do it next week for sure! All of these look delish, but I'm a sucker for anything with apple in it, so I'm all about that Smoked Apple! I've made something like the Orange Creamsicle before and it's good. Basically vodka and anything is good in my book. Haha!
