“Moscow Mule and Pomegranate Moscow Mule”

Looking for a new twist on a popular refreshing cocktail? Look no further than a Moscow Mule and Pomegranate Moscow Mule. These cocktails will get your Memorial Day party started right. The traditional Moscow mule contains Vodka, ginger beer, lime juice served over ice with a garnish of lime. My new twist, the Pomegranate Moscow Mule is made in the same way but you add pomegranate juice and increase the lime juice. The Pomegranate Moscow has a more tart taste due to the addition of pomegranate juice. Serve your traditional Moscow Mule in a copper mug. The Pomegranate Moscow Mule can also be served in a copper mug but a highball works so you can see the color of the cocktail. Add a few pomegranate seeds for appearance sake. Let me tell you, this cocktail is just as refreshing and still kicks like a mule. So, let’s get the party started. Have a toast and remember our service men and women who have so bravely sacrificed their lives for our nation. Share your twist on the Moscow Mule and Pomegranate Moscow Mule.
