The Moscow Mule
Yield: One Drink
1.5oz Vodka
1tsp Simple Syrup
1/2 Lime
Ginger Beer
Lime Wedge (garnish)
Add ice to a glass.
Add vodka, simple syrup and lime juice.
Top with Ginger Beer.
Garnish with a lime wedge.
Stir. Sip. Enjoy!
As seen in the photo above, the Moscow Mule is generally served in a copper mug to keep it chilled, and gives it the most ultra-refreshing taste. Copper mugs are great for keeping any drinks or cocktails chilled. I love drinking sweet tea from them.

Finally going to get my hair colored tonight! I’m grateful my hair grows so fast, but after only 5 weeks, I already have a half an inch of grey hair growth!
I love jcrew in the spring and summer (well I always love them but spring and summer the most). That cocktail sounds amazing. I'm looking forward to summer cocktails once this little one is evicted ;).
I LOVE a good Moscow Mule. I am totally going to try this.

Hi! Thank you for your post! What kind of simple syrup do you use?
For this one, I boiled one cup of water, and stirred in a cup of sugar until it dissolved. Then let it cool and refrigerate.
I keep forgetting to check out the J Crew Sale… guess I know what my plans are for tonight now!

I saw those striped Tory's also today on the Beyond the Rack website. I had never heard of it before! Not a huge savings, but still cheaper! Love all your picks!
