Moonriver Bar #13 - A Moonriver Mule

9/3/2020

The Moscow Mule is a simple alchemy.  A little vodka, even less lime, and a whole bunch of ginger beer.  It's simple, clean, fizzy, and satisfying.  

How To Make A Moscow Mule

The ye olde classic doesn't need much at hand.

2 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Lime Juice
4-6 oz Ginger Beer, or just fill your glass to the top
Don't forget ice!

The Den's Spin on a classic

The true star of this drink is the Ginger Beer.  It is the vehicle for every heavy-hitting alcohol in the main suite.  In fact, switching out only that aspect and leaving the rest is where we get all of our usual variations on this drink.

The Moscow has Vodka
A Mexican Mule uses Tequila
The Kentucky Mule is Bourbon Whiskey
The Gin Gin is...Gin.  With some mint and simple syrup.
Jamaican Mules use Rum.
A Glasgow Mule uses Scotch.
Irish Mules use Irish Whiskey.


After that, we start changing more of the fundamentals.  We dash in some chocolate bitters, or some fruity vodkas, or maybe change up the soda.  A REALLY simple variation would be to take the Mexican Mule and try it with Ginger Ale and GOLD Tequila.  I call it the "Midas Touch."
  

But in the spirit of Moonriver, experimentation lends to experiential discovery, and though I may study this pretty deeply, I still find combinations that surprise me.  So what hasn't been done yet by the mainstream?
Let's look at the fundamentals.  You have:

A Core Liquor
A Sweet or Sour element
A Soda


Ginger is the blanket that brings this all together, but what if I broke that first?  Sprite doesn't get enough love in this house, so that's our new Soda component.  Lime?  How about Cherry instead?  Now, the Core.  I'm inclined toward a cinnamon whiskey just because I know it might tick people off.

2 oz Fireball
1 oz Cherry Liqueur
Fill with ice and Sprite

It's a Blood Moon Mule.  Let's try it out...


I'm a Goram genius.

Drink responsibly and try not to howl too loudly.
