Cocktail Wednesday - Gin Gin Mule

This week's drink was a Gin Gin Mule.  This was a little more labor intensive than last week's root beer float, but not too bad.

The ingredients:

• lime juice (I went for fresh squeezed)
• simple syrup
• gin
• min
• ginger beer (we used the alcoholic version - though the one in the picture is actually non-alcoholic)

I had to juice the limes but I already had the simple syrup made, which made things a little easier.

Basically, you muddle the lime juice, simple syrup, and mint leaves.  After that add ice and gin and shake away.

This mixture gets strained into a glass with ice and the ginger beer is added on top.

It was quite refreshing.  Tasted a little like alcoholic ginger ale .. I will definitely have this one again.

We don't have the next drink picked out yet, but I'll update here as soon as we do.
