a totally made up cocktail : "the san diego mule"

Sdmule

No doubt you've heard of the Moscow Mule. It was (is?) nutty popular with bloggers and best served with quinoa, kale and a sprinkled donut. (Not really.)

Last summer it was blowing up my Instagram feed and I figured I might as well hop on board so we looked up a recipe (here's a good one!) and made them for ourselves. So good!

Then this spring I finally bought copper mugs (the official Moscow Mule vessel) and was blown away with how they did indeed improve the drink (we think it has to do with how they transfer cold?) and were worth every penny.

One of our favorite local restaurants serves a Mexican Mule which is the same idea with tequila instead of vodka. Paul set out to up the game one step further and created....

The San Diego Mule!

serves one

1 shot tequila
1 and 1/2 shots ginger beer (it's non-alcoholic)
1 shot of your favorite IPA (India Pale Ale beer)
about 1/3 shot fresh orange juice
about 1/3 shot fresh lime juice

What makes it the San Diego Mule? Aside from being "made up" in San Diego, it has an orange AND a spash of (ideally San Diego brewed) IPA (we love Stone!).

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
