Description

A Moscow mule (made with vodka and ginger beer) is tasty on its own but I thought that I would dress it up a bit for the holidays. Now it is outstanding.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE GINGER LIME INFUSED VODKA:
  • ¼ cups Fresh Ginger, Peeled And Sliced
  • 1 whole Fresh Lime, Sliced
  • 4 cups, 3 tablespoons, 1-⅞ teaspoons, ¼ pinches 80 Proof Vodka
  • FOR THE DRINK:
  • 2 whole Fresh Basil Leaves
  • 1-½ ounce, fluid Infused Vodka (from Above Or Use Unflavored)
  • Ice
  • 2 ounces, fluid Pomegranate Juice
  • 1 ounce, fluid Lime Juice
  • 4 ounces, fluid Ginger Beer
  • Pomegranate Seeds

Preparation

For the infused vodka: one week prior to serving, place fresh ginger, peeled and sliced, and lime slices into a 1-iter glass container. Add vodka (80 proof is best) and place in refrigerator to infuse.

For the drink: add basil leaves and vodka to a shaker. Muddle basil leaves with a muddler (the fat end of mixing spoon works well also). Add a few ice cubes, pomegranate juice, and lime juice to the shaker. Shake until combined and chilled. Pour through strainer into a serving glass containing 3-4 ice cubes. Top with ginger beer and stir gently. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
