]]> Truly my favorite drink in the entire world! Being as it may, I had to go out of my way to review what I find to not only be the perfect drink… but the perfect spring/summer drink as well. With a perfect combination of vodka, ginger beer and lime – if you haven not already jumped on the Moscow Mule train, it’s time to grab a copper mug and start!

A pure drink straight out of the 20’s, the Moscow Mule is actually pretty simple to make. Of course everyone has their own customized recipes, however most seem to follow the same general standard of half a lime, 2 oz of  vodka and 6 oz of ginger beer (specifically requested brands such as Cock n’ Bull Ginger Beer are said to be the best choices).

So, for all of you who have never tried the classic Moscow Mule – no matter what time of the year, the drink is fairly famous, but with spring being here and summer coming up, now would be a great time to try!

Cheers!

]]> One New Year’s Eve 2014 I had the awesome opportunity to visit Moscow, Russia! While I was there, I did a lot of site seeing around the vast city but one thing that really caught my eye was the vodka. Of course there is already the general stereotype about Russians and their beloved vodka, but after two weeks in the country I have to admit – the stereotypes are fairly true. What also impressed me was how versatile vodka could be to the Russian people. Along with all the possible drink mixtures, I noticed vodka was also heavily used in cooking as well as a form of “medicine” when you felt a cold coming on. For example, in the early days of my trip I remember I had a difficult time adjusting to the change in food and temperature (January in Russia is no fun place to be for anyone who loves summer). In order to help me adjust, I remember being offered a cure-all drink which was a hollowed out beet with vodka and honey inside and baked for 15 minutes… so, yeah – Russia loves their vodka!

I also noticed while I was there that the most popular way vodka was consumed was not so much by a mixed drink, but instead a straight shot of the alcohol – and many of them! I particularly remember one of my final days on the trip when I went to a family dinner with my hosts. A few people at the dinner party were celebrating an anniversary so naturally we had to toast them with a shot of vodka… and another… and another… adn atohner, z2nd ano5/zd… and you see the point.

So, coming back from Mother Russia, along with all the great memories I came back with a new acquired taste for vodka thanks to some friends in Moscow!

Cheers,
