I saw a great meme on Facebook the other day that perfectly sums up the seasons in South Carolina:

Winter: 6am
Spring: 10am
Summer: 2 pm
Fall: around 4:30ish

Ha! Ha!

That's so true! We always need a thick sweater in the morning and are sweating our faces off by lunch time. But, enough about the weather!

Let's chat about the changing seasons, shall we? But first? Cocktails.

What is a Moscow Mule?

A traditional Moscow Mule is a cocktail that calls for 3 ingredients...

• Vodka
• Fresh lime juice
• Ginger beer

Add some ice and glug some vodka into a copper mug, squeeze in a bit of fresh lime juice, top of with ginger beer, stir and SHAZAM! A Moscow Mule!

Moscow Mules are great year round, and are incredibly versatile. They are easy to jazz up for the holidays or fancy shindigs, and the flavor combinations are endless.

Moscow Mules are my go to, and I happen to be fond of the winter citrus variety. Don't believe me? Just go have a looksie at my Clementine & Cove Moscow Mule.
