Citrus Mule with Tito's
Ingredients
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1 ounce fresh grapefruit juice
1 ounce Triple Sec
2 ounces ginger beer
2 ounces Tito’s vodka
Ice
Mint for garnish
Preparation
Mix all ingredients together in a mixing glass and pour over ice. Using a copper mug is key to a classic Mule.
Tips
A great Moscow mule uses ginger beer, not ginger ale, which is much sweeter and lacks the spicy ginger kick of ginger beer.

1½ Bourbon
1½ Bianco Vermouth
Lemon Peel (garnish)
Preparation
Fill a mixing glass two-thirds with ice. Pour Bourbon and Vermouth over the ice and stir vigorously for 30 seconds. Strain into martini or rocks glass and serve with a fresh lemon peel twist
