Cucumber Moscow Mule
Ingredients
- 4 cucumber half moons, plus 3 thin slices for garnish
- 1/2 ounce (about 1/2 lime) freshly-squeezed lime juice
- 2 ounces cucumber vodka, such as Square One
- 4 ounces ginger beer, such as Fever Tree
- 5-6 dashes celery bitters, such as Scrappy's, optional
Instructions
- In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, muddle the cucumber and lime juice. Add ice, vodka, ginger beer, and bitters, stir. Strain into an ice-filled glass (I used an 11-ounce collins glass) and garnish with the sliced cucumber.
Notes
If you're so inclined, cucumber vodka is an easy DIY project. If you don't want to commit to a full-size bottle of celery bitters, Scrappy's sells a set of mini bottles of orange, aromatic, Orleans, and celery bitters.
