52. Some version of a Moscow Mule

Mon Jul 20, 2020, 07:46 PM

Jul 2020

was one of the two ginger cocktails that I had tried.

Does the copper alter the taste?

I have no drinkware - aside from a few glasses we were given for one of our weddings (we have 4 anniversaries - two for weddings). Champagne glasses, I think. They are hiding somewhere.

The ginger ale/apple pie moonshine probably tastes similar to the first batch of ginger liqueur I made, since I used apple brandy as the base.

My employee is definitely having a bad influence on me. When we travel, she likes to hang out at local drinking venues. So the first place we went, I had a Mexican Cake stout - Westbrook Brewing. I've spent months trying to find a clone, since I can't get it locally. She was also present when I had the two ginger cocktails . . .
