Before I moved to Colorado I had no idea what a Moscow Mule was. I can’t remember ever seeing them on a menu anywhere else. It’s possible I was just missing them but they were definitely not on every cocktail menu as they are here.
It wasn’t until I asked what everyone was drinking out of a copper mug that I learned what a Moscow Mule was. I have to admit seeing a drink served out of a beautiful copper mug made me want to try the drink regardless of what was in it.
To continue my recipes for cinco de mayo I of course had to make some margaritas! I have been making margaritas since I was old enough to use the blender. My parents for some reason thought it was a good idea for a twelve-year-old to make their margaritas. I of course never drank them and it was the only drink they would have me make. Whatever their reasoning was, I became a margarita maker extraordinaire.
Back then I only made the traditional margarita. A traditional margarita is a classic for a reason and I have always been a fan of not messing too much with classics.
