Today I am sharing a fun spin on the classic Moscow Mule cocktail. Moscow Mules are so popular right now you will almost always find one on the menu at your local bar. I love them because I love ginger beer and the fresh taste.  Carrot goes really well with ginger so the addition of something semi “healthy” added a bit more flavor than the traditional Moscow Mule offers. This is my favorite version so far and is very festive for brunch, day drinking, or cocktail hour.
