Happy Hour with AE: Moscow Mule

We recently ran accross this tasty little drink on a visit to Denver, CO.  I was hesitant at first.  Not too crazy about anything with MULE in the title, but our dear friend, Katie Church, convinced us to try it (she makes a MEAN one) and now we are HOOKED!  You will be too!

 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 ounce vodka
  • 1 tsp. simple syrup (you can make your own by heating sugar and water)
  • Fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup ginger beer
  • 1 sprig fresh mint
  • 1 slice of lime
Directions
In a copper mug, pour vodka over ice. Add sugar syrup and lime juice. Top with ginger beer and stir. Garnish with mint sprig and lime slice.  If you don't have a copper mug, a mason jar (always a fave) will work.  Did you know you buy Mason jars at Target in a 12-pack!?
ENJOY!
