Make It: Moscow Mule

I’ve always preferred wine over beer and cocktails, but there’s something about the warmer weather (we hit the 90’s over here this week) and approaching Cinco de Mayo that has me craving tacos and Coronas this weekend.

I would have never thought of trying ginger flavored beer, but after a girlfriend ordered and encouraged me to try Hook & Ladder‘s homemade version… I’ve been well hooked (har, har) ever since. It’s just so refreshing! While on this ginger kick I’ve taken it upon myself to try out just about every ginger-flavored cocktail I see on a menu. My personal favorite: moscow mules (which another go-to restaurant of mine aptly calls their version: The Girl with the Ginger Tattoo–can we just call all moscow mules by this name?).
