This delicious twist on a gin mule combines tart grapefruit juice with sweet sparkling wine for a refreshing cocktail that’s also so easy to make!
You know when you meet someone and you instantly want to be best friends with that person?! That’s exactly how I felt when I met my friend Laura!
She’s a fellow blogger at Distillerista.com and the owner of the only craft destination distillery in California, You & Yours Distilling Co. in downtown San Diego. Needless to say, she’s a boozy boss lady, which I love! In addition to dominating in the distillery world, she’s also the sweetest person ever and so much fun!
Laura will be appearing as a guest on my web series “29 Minute Meals” next Wednesday, so be sure to subscribe on YouTube to watch the episode & see what she’s mixing up!
With the Oscars coming up this weekend, I couldn’t wait to get in the kitchen and whip up a scrumptious craft cocktail with Laura’s “Sunday Gin” from You & Yours Distilling Co.
Since champagne and moscow mules are two of my favorite drinks, I decided to combine the two in this gin mule recipe!
I could seriously sip on this drink all day! It’s so refreshing, slightly tart, slightly sweet and totally bubbly!
Ingredients

Easy as that, a delicious cocktail awaits you!

Where does one find ginger beef exactly? (typo in the instructions ;-)) This sounds really good, tho – looks like those moscow mule mugs we got as a random present from the MIL are going to get used after all!
Hi Tobi, thanks for pointing out my typo! Enjoy the recipe in your moscow mule mugs 🙂
