Blood Orange Champagne Mule
This is a Moscow Mule, but with the addition of champagne and a substitution of blood oranges. And yes, these are totally as awesome as they sound.
I feel like New Year’s Eve cannot be complete without a bottle of champagne, it just seems like a must.
And as for the blood oranges, well they are just starting to come into season, and they’re the prettiest citrus out there! Their red hue is super festive, so again, a must!
INGREDIENTS:
- juice of 1/2 a medium blood orange
- juice of 1/2 a lime
- 1 ounce vodka
- 8 leaves mint
- 2 ounces chilled ginger beer
- chilled champagne for topping
In a glass, combine the blood orange juice, lime juice and vodka. Add the ginger beer and top with the champagne. Garnish with blood orange slices and fresh mint. Drink!
