Cocktail Hour // Gin Gin Mule

Nov 5, 2014 ·

Gin-Gin-Mules-1

You can shake your finger at the big box stores and their Christmas trees and try to deny it all you want, but the holiday season is officially upon us.  Over the next two months we'll all enjoy a few too many sinful appetizers and imbibe in one too many perfectly shaken up cocktails, so let's just embrace it, shall we?  January will come soon enough and we can all hop on the newest juice cleanse and pledge our allegiance to healthy living.  In the meantime, allow me to introduce my current favorite cocktail of the season:  The Gin Gin Mule.  This one is the brainchild of Cocktail Academy, the only experts you really want mixing up your drinks these days.  Comprised of cocktail connoisseurs, party experts, and brand ambassadors, they partner with brands and individuals to make enjoying cocktails about as fun and enjoyable as you ever could imagine!  Since we can't have them around all of the time, sadly, they agreed to dish the details on our favorite adult beverage of the moment...

Add all ingredients, except for the club soda, to a shaker, fill completely with ice and shake hard. Strain into an ice filled collins glass, and then top with club soda.
