Moscow Mule

There’s a saying that good managers take more than their share of the blame, and less than their share of the credit. I’m on a team of hard-working, under-celebrated managers and was looking for a way to treat them every so often. We now celebrate the end of the quarter with hand-shaken cocktails, and this combination of vodka, lime, and ginger beer was one of the first recipes.

Audrey’s Coconut Mojitos

“We’ve had Mojitos all over Florida, my husband came up with the BEST recipe. The coconut rum adds a wonderful flavor, and the powdered sugar kinda makes a frosty, minty, refreshing drink! And mint grows like a weed, anywhere! A back-door herb bed, a flower box in a sunny window…it just grows and grows!”
