I love making cocktails! Whether it’s for me or friends, I find it so satisfying to make a good drink and even more satisfying, enjoying one with them. With how the last couple years have gone, I have learned to make some of my favorite cocktails at home and it’s not as complicated as you might think.

So, traditionally a Moscow mule is made with vodka which I also love, but I tend to have gin around more often so that is what I like to use. My favorite gin is The Botanist, but you can use whatever gin you like.

Again, you can use whatever ginger beer you like, one of my favorites is from The Great Gentleman. It is very spicy but that is how I like my mules, spicy!

Investing in a cocktail set is ideal if you plan on making them at home. I highly recommend this type of shaker over the ones with the built in strainer and tiny lids: Cocktail Set
