Moscow Mule |
Something new for 2013...
Isabel of Family Foodie started the Sunday Supper Movement about a year ago. It's mission is to bring the families together around the table for a Sunday Supper each week, and to do so, she's assembled dozens of fellow food bloggers to create dishes that families can prepare around a common theme. Past themes have been Holiday Party Appetizers, Thanksgiving Leftovers and Foodie Bucket List dishes. Recently I joined the movement and this is my first recipe for it.
This week's theme is Retro Recipes. For it, I wanted to demonstrate the types of things I do. Namely: challenging food preparation and/or uncommon cooking methods for the home cook, and food that can easily be bought at the local supermarket made at home. In order to do this, I've updated a classic cocktail using the homemade ginger ale I published this past Friday, however the traditional recipe uses ginger beer, not ginger ale.
The Source
There are multiple sources for the same recipe, however I used the version found on epicurious.
Ingredients
1/2 lime
2 ounces vodka
4 to 6 ounces ginger ale
2 or 3 ice cubes
Method
1. Squeeze the lime into a Collins glass, then drop it in. Add 2 or 3 large ice cubes, then pour in the vodka and fill with cold ginger beer. Serve with a stirring rod.

ReplyDeleteThat sounds soooo good and refreshing. I am going to have to try that!!!
ReplyDeleteDId you use your homemade ginger ale for this?? Sounds like an awesome drink to kick back on a Sunday! Thanks for sharing, love what you got going on your blog!

ReplyDeletecool a new cocktail for me to try out. Thank you for the introduction! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I love ginger ale, this cocktail sounds wonderful. The hubby and I have been talking about trying to make some homemade after having some homemade at a friends house. I am going to swing over and check out that recipe.
ReplyDeleteI saw the Moscow Mule on a drink menu today. and I almost ordered it - it sounds so simple, but good.

ReplyDeleteWhere has this drink been all my life? How did I miss this? Yum. Is it 5 o'clock yet?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this one before, but it sounds great. I wonder what my local bartender will think when I order a Moscow Mule? I bet I'll have to tell him how to make it. Easy!
