I realize this blog has "wine" in the title, but I'm not about enjoying a great craft beer or a good cocktail. I was recently introduced to the Moscow Mule and it's quickly become one of my favorites.

This is my variation of the Moscow Mule. It's got a little more "boost" of vodka and lime. Also, I highly recommend Fever Tree Naturally Light Ginger Beer. It's got an amazingly spicy ginger taste and it's got half the calories of its regular counterpart. I honestly don't even like most other ginger beers anymore.
