Moscow Mules

The proper way to send you all off into the weekend is with this Moscow Mule recipe. Obvi. A few weeks ago, Andrew and I house/dog sat for my best friend and her husband while they whisked away to Grand Cayman Island. We considered getting to live in their new home paradise for 6 days a gift in itself, but then they outdid themselves by making us a basket of boozy goodies to thank us; complete with ginger beer, a bottle of vodka, and some fancy copper mugs. All the essentials needed to make the perfect moscow mule.
