Something new for 2013...
Isabel of Family Foodie started the Sunday Supper Movement about a year ago. It's mission is to bring the families together around the table for a Sunday Supper each week, and to do so, she's assembled dozens of fellow food bloggers to create dishes that families can prepare around a common theme. Past themes have been Holiday Party Appetizers, Thanksgiving Leftovers and Foodie Bucket List dishes. Recently I joined the movement and this is my first recipe for it.
This week's theme is Retro Recipes. For it, I wanted to demonstrate the types of things I do. Namely: challenging food preparation and/or uncommon cooking methods for the home cook, and food that can easily be bought at the local supermarket made at home. In order to do this, I've updated a classic cocktail using the homemade ginger ale I published this past Friday, however the traditional recipe uses ginger beer, not ginger ale.
The Source
There are multiple sources for the same recipe, however I used the version found on epicurious.
Ingredients
1/2 lime
2 ounces vodka
4 to 6 ounces ginger ale
2 or 3 ice cubes
Method
1. Squeeze the lime into a Collins glass, then drop it in. Add 2 or 3 large ice cubes, then pour in the vodka and fill with cold ginger beer. Serve with a stirring rod.

ReplyDeleteOh, I can see drinking this on a Friday evening after work! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI would tell you that this makes me thirsty. But, it's only 10:16 on a Sunday morning. Oh, heck. Who cares! This makes me thirsty! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds soooo good and refreshing. I am going to have to try that!!!
ReplyDeleteDId you use your homemade ginger ale for this?? Sounds like an awesome drink to kick back on a Sunday! Thanks for sharing, love what you got going on your blog!
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Happy Valley Chow
Looks and sounds absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try a Moscow Mule for some time now - maybe I should do that...stat!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have never had a Moscow Mule before...but I am dying to try one. And homemade gingerale? Love it!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of these before - but I want one immediately!
ReplyDeleteYay! So glad you brought a cocktail to #SundaySupper. I haven't had this cocktail before either. I agree with Sherron that it looks refreshing.
ReplyDeleteNice drink! Never heard of it before, but ginger and vodka I like a lot.
ReplyDeleteGinger is amazing but I never thought of it in a drink. This is one to try!
ReplyDeleteOooo...now here's a cocktail I am not familiar with - but that lime in there sounds super refreshing!
ReplyDeletecool a new cocktail for me to try out. Thank you for the introduction! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I love ginger ale, this cocktail sounds wonderful. The hubby and I have been talking about trying to make some homemade after having some homemade at a friends house. I am going to swing over and check out that recipe.
ReplyDeleteI saw the Moscow Mule on a drink menu today. and I almost ordered it - it sounds so simple, but good.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this or had it before...but this sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteI love ginger in anything but I've never had a Moscow Mule - sounds tasty!
ReplyDeleteWhere has this drink been all my life? How did I miss this? Yum. Is it 5 o'clock yet?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this one before, but it sounds great. I wonder what my local bartender will think when I order a Moscow Mule? I bet I'll have to tell him how to make it. Easy!
ReplyDeleteYes! A boozy entry for this week's Sunday Supper! This sounds so delicious and refreshing. My day just started but I'm already in need of this drink. Don't judge me.
ReplyDeleteThat is cool. I will try it at home.

It is a great idea to make your own Moscow Mule. Remember the recipe you choose is important. Get yourself some variations of traditional Moscow Mule recipe.
