Hello friends! Keeping things festive, I will be sharing some fun holiday cocktails for the month of December! I will be starting the month off with this sweet and spicy “Moscow Mule” inspired drink. Vodka with a mix of fresh lime juice, grapefruit, spicy jalapeños, and topped off with ginger beer.
What better way to enjoy the holidays, whether it’s lounging at home or a holiday party, this fun drink is ideal for these cold December nights. Its festive and warming and very easy to make. You can add more grapefruit, or ginger beer, or even double or triple the recipe and turn this into the perfect punch!
Details
This cocktail is so simple, piggy backing off of a Moscow Mule recipe. First you’ll want to rim your glass in minted sugar. Make the drink in a shaker (or any glass and lid you can shake up). Add your sweet and spice and shake shake shake! Strain it into a glass and top it off with a bit if fizz. You can throw in some extras for garnish as well!
