Sage Moscow Mule
The only thing besides mixing that needs to be done for this special drink is to make the sage simple syrup. Obviously, you could make Moscow Mules for your guests without the simple syrup; but that just wouldn’t be as fun! The sage simple syrup adds a really interesting taste to the drink and mixes really well with the spicy flavor of the ginger beer. If you are really short on time and can’t make the syrup throw in some cranberry sauce and mix this drink up! Improvising sometimes makes the best drinks!
