6 shots? Damn. What's in a gin mule, anyway?

It was actually 4 shots. Forgot the 0.5oz per shot

But the recipe is:
6oz gin
6oz ginger beer
limes
ice

Fairly simple. Extremely delicious.

Variant of moscow mule, and yes highly tasty.  Just remember that ginger beer =/= ginger ale.

[Nebbles]

Yum, that sounds really good.

Yum, that sounds really good.

It is (I made another one). I've had the ginger beer since before lent so I can finally use it!! WFM has it pretty cheap.

The copper mug is what makes it though. All ingredients react with the copper a bit to bring out the flavors in the alcohol, increasing the bubbles in the ginger beer and reducing the acidity of the lime.

[Nebbles]

Ooooh, really? That's really neat, never knew that.

[melroycen]

wow, that looks great!

I was craving greasy american food but need to cut back on restaurant spending so I just made it all (ok besides the bun) from scratch :>



Topped with Beechers (damn good cheese made in Seattle and NY, highly recommend if you spot it, grilled onions, tomato, and bacon.

Burger and onions were cooked in the bacon grease so I probably need to eat veggies all day tomorrow.

I loved my trip and I DID NOT eat healthily, yet I lost a few pounds. Only a few more days until I go to Hong Kong, so more food.

I loved Montreal, Washington DC and Boston the most and I liked New York the least (seriously, NYC is disgusting)
