summer cocktail.

i have a new favorite summer cocktail from the wonderful matthew and patrick. they had us over for dinner the last saturday on one of the balmiest, stickiest t. louis nights and were perfect hosts.

after walking in the door i was happily greeted with one of these:

moscow mule


this is a perfectly refreshing drink for the summer. AT and i recreated it the other night and they were just as wonderful as the first time. the cucumber is really flavorful and makes it very summery.

M&P's Moscow Mules:
fill glass with ice
1 shot of vodka
splash of lime juice
fill rest of glass with ginger ale
orange slice
cucumber slice

after a little investigation, most people make it with vodka + ginger beer(not ginger ale) + lime. probably delicious as well, just haven't tried it.
