Happy almost 2023! I actually had another post planned for today, but at the last minute, I decided we should end the year with just one last holiday cocktail. I made this exact drink for my brother Red the other night, he loved it so much. So of course, I kind of wanted to share the recipe with you all for New Year.
Here are the easy details
Use a cocktail shaker or even just a glass jar with a lid (use what you have). Then shake together your favorite vodka, a squeeze of fresh lime, fresh grapefruit juice, a few jalapeño slices for the spice aspect, and grated ginger for a mule that’s extra gingery. Strain everything into a mule mug filled with ice. Then top off with ginger beer for even more spice, plus sweetness, and a touch of fizziness. If you want to take the drink a step further, make candied rosemary and jalapeños for garnish, which I highly recommend. I boil honey with jalapeños and ginger, then dip the rosemary sprigs into the spicy honey. Let the honey drip off, then cover each sprig in sugar. This is really pretty in the mule as a garnish. Plus, it adds some sweetness too. Then, add a little fresh mint too.
Make a mocktail and or make punch
You can also make this into a mocktail or even a punch by adding champagne! I provided directions for it all. The punch is especially delicious with an entire bottle of champagne added! The perfect New Year’s Eve drink. Easy to mix up, impressive, and every bit as delicious as it looks. Hoping you guys all enjoy this one!! Have a Happy New Year!
