So what will you be sipping on as you watch the festivities tonight? Dare I make a recommendation? How about an icy Moscow Mule? I don't know what took me so long to try this delicious cocktail, but thank goodness a friend introduced me to it a couple of weeks ago. It's easy peasy and celebrates Russia's national beverage of choice: vodka.
{Copper mug from West Elm}
*Recipe adapted from Mr. Boston
1 1/2 oz. vodka
1/2 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
Ginger beer (store bought or homemade)
Lime wedges for garnish
Pour vodka and lime juice into a glass or copper Moscow Mule mug. Fill mug with ice (crushed or cubed) and top with ginger beer until mug just full. Stir. Garnish with a lime wedge.
Happy Opening Ceremonies everyone!
I'm pregnant and can't drink, so I need to set this aside for later! Glad to have found you through Lovely Thursdays! :)
ReplyDeleteyes please! i absolutely LOVE ginger beer, so of course I'll love it with a little vodka and lime thrown in the mix. When in Russia, right?
