Mule Driver

Mule Driver

This gingery cousin to the college-classic screwdriver is enough to drive away every bad memory you have of waking up hungover on a friend’s couch when you were an undergrad. The orange and ginger combo is delicious and refreshing any time of day. And it may be tempting, but this doesn’t mean you should pour yourself one of these for breakfast. Though if you do, I won’t tell.

Strawberry Moscow Mule

Strawberry Moscow Mule

As a kid, the best part of summer was going out to pick-your-own strawberry patches with my family. We’d cart home boxes of the sweetest strawberries you could imagine. Now that I’m an adult, I like to mix this joyful summertime nostalgia with the best perk of being an adult: alcohol. Sweet strawberries set off the spiciness of the ginger beer which can be amplified with (if you dare) a sprinkle of black pepper.
