This is a fresh take on one of my favorite go to drinks- The Citrus Infused Moscow Mule or “Citrus Mule” as I’ve began to call it. It’s a perfect drink to serve to guests, or just enjoy after a long day.

Ingredients:

(makes about 2/3 cocktails – if serving a crowd multiply serve in a pitcher):

3 oz of good quality vodka

2 oz of fresh lime juice

4 oz of ginger beer (I prefer Reeds)

7-10 slices of various citrus fruit

1 oz orange infused simple syrup {boil 1 part sugar and 1 part water with the peel of 1 orange till the sugar fully dissolves, allow to cool}

Directions:

Drop some of your fresh citrus slices into your Vodka and let sit for at least an hour. In a cocktail shaker combine the citrus infused vodka, ginger beer, simple syrup, and lime juice. Shake for a minute or two and serve over ice. Garnish with a lime wedge or an orange peel.

Enjoy!
