Moscow Mule


Moscow Mule

Today’s cocktail: Moscow Mule. Can you imagine how many places I had to go to find this ginger ale?


This is the “cocktail /salad-dressing shaker” that I bought at the 100-yen shop.
See? Didn't I tell you that it looks like a baby bottle?

Hm... my kind of baby bottle!

Wow, ginger ale was easy to get in Tokyo ten years ago. I drank it all the time. It reminded me of back home.

I bought a soda siphon manufactured by Isi of Austria because I wanted to drink soda water without sugar or recycling plastic bottles. I boiled ginger in spring water recently and added sugar and it was surprisingly tasty.

Yeah, it must be easy to get ginger ale in Tokyo. We used to have some at nearby supermarkets, but for some reason they don't any more.

> Jennifer --- A soda siphon! That must be something nice to have at home. I love ginger-sugar combination, too. : )

we make moscow mules here in san francisco with ginger beer, which is like ginger ale but with a much stronger ginger kick. ha ha. like the kick of a mule maybe? i guess you could amp it up by crushing some fresh ginger into the ginger ale....might be gross though.

> carlyn --- Vodka, ginger ale and lime juice (freshly squeezed). ;)

> rae --- Mmmmm… a little more kick of ginger sounds nice! (Though I’ve never been kicked by a mule before so I don't know what it's like ;P) I don’t think I can find ginger beer around here, but I could try fresh ginger someday. We’ll see.

Hi Obachan - yes, it looks a bit like a baby bottle... but I still like 100 yes shop! Your moscow mule looks very refreshing.
