Lemongrass Moscow Mules

Beat the heat and wrap up the long weekend with these frosty, thirst-quenching Lemongrass Moscow Mules! Your standard Moscow Mule kicked up a notch with refreshing, aromatic lemongrass. Also perfectly delicious frozen into popsicle.

Is your thirst not yet quenched?!?

I keep hearing dirty little rumours about summer leaving town. WHAAAAT?? I haven't had many opportunities to get out and truly enjoy it, so for me it is only just beginning. On the days that I feel well enough and can summon enough energy, I'll be out soaking up all the warm, healing vitamin-D the season has to offer. Is there a more natural mood-enhancer than smile-inducing sun rays warming your face, shoulders and heart?

I love that deep bronze tint my skin gets after only a few minutes in the sun. How the soft, brilliant morning light floods our bedroom, nudging me awake with warm, gentle kisses on my neck, cheeks and tummy. Oh, maybe that's the Dude... 😉

Don't go summer. DON'T GO!! The very thought of the frigid winter months ahead makes me shudder. Brrrr... shake that thought and let's continue sipping on a few more of these Lemongrass Moscow Mules.

I'll have to take the virgin route for the next few rounds, however. 🙁 But please don't let my predicament stop you from splashing this drink with as much vodka as your palate desires. I certainly did in this batch I shared on Instagram back in May.

Cheers!
