2015 is officially here and yes, it took us a full week to recover from the last night of 2014. Hopefully your NYE wasn’t nearly as exhausting, or maybe hopefully it was? Anyway with a new year I like to look back and reflect on some of the craziness that was 2014 and I can say one thing stood out more than any other.
Are you on Pinterest? We’ve been riding the Pinterest tail since it began and it’s pretty addicting. It’s hard to ignore the influence they have and they recently released a Pinterest Top 100 list that crowned a new king in the spirits world. According to Pinterest, Tequila and NOT Vodka was the most sought after spirit for cocktail recipes. That’s pretty impressive. Vodka is a colorless and odorless BEAST that’s usually pretty dominant but this gives me hope that the wicked step child of liquor will make an impressive move in 2015.
In honor of the good news we’re “remixing” one of our favorite cocktails by swapping vodka with tequila and we encourage you to do the same. In the New Year try a Mexican Mule and see if it doesn’t kick it up a notch!
Mexican Mule
- 1 part Tequila. (We used Sauza 901 Tequila)
- 2 parts ginger beer
- Juice of ½ lime
Combine your Tequila and lime juice in a highball glass. Add ice. Pour ginger beer into glass. Garnish with fresh lime wedge.
