Cocktail Hour: Moscow Mule

Ginger beer, in a cocktail? Yummy! The Moscow Mule is perfect as an after work pick-me-up. All ginger and lime and other wake me up kinds of stuff. And, of course, vodka.

You'll need these things:

• 50ml Vodka,
• 50ml lime juice,
• Ginger beer,
• Crushed Ice
• Lemon and lime slices

And you'll need to do these things:

Put the ice into the cocktail shaker. Add the lime and vodka and shake about until your arm gets ouchy. Pour into a tall glass and top up with ginger beer. Garnish with lemon and lime slices, and then get ready to do some after-work dancing.
