Directions
Let’s get this party started right away with a cocktail that will cool us down from the inside out in this oppressive 2023 summer heat.
We’ll go ahead and bust yet another myth about the Moscow Mule: it’s not made with cucumber.
A crusade should be launched to expose to public ridicule every barman who offers the Moscow with cucumber by default.
Sure, it’s legitimate to ask for a Moscow with cucumber stuffed inside, but you have to be the one to ask: there’s nothing wrong with it.
Make this cocktail, which we’ll call Hulk Potion if you like cucumber, but not the Moscow.
Our cocktail is sophisticated: it’s tangy and has a lingering aftertaste, making it ideal as an aperitif to whet your appetite. But tread carefully, because while its allure may seem elusive at first, it will eventually seduce you to the point where you can’t live without it. less.
A simple sour is elevated to a level of flavor and aroma that will not be easily forgotten with the help of the green fairy, absinthe. Do not overindulge or you will end up looking like the great Lou Ferrigno!
