You know that saying, “Don’t quit your day job?” Well, I’m finally listening to the voice of reason and handing over the “Weekly Whet” reins to a professional.

I’ll keep my day job meddling in all of Into the Soup’s other affairs, but for the next few weeks, our buddy (and new favorite beverage director), Logan, is taking over this spot to show-off some of the delicious drinks you can get at The Vig and The Vig Uptown.

This week, he brings us “The Moscow Mule,” which was previously “served in a spectacular copper mug.” Unfortunately, he and the other bartenders learned the hard way that many of these Moscow Mule-fans had sticky fingers since “48 mugs went missing in the span of 2 months. Now they’ll get it in a regular pint glass and like it!” says Logan. 

Ingredients

  • 2oz Russian Standard Vodka 
  • 2oz Cock and Bull Ginger Beer (the original creators of the drink)
  • 1/2oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • Dash of Agnostura Bitters
  • Garnished with a lime wedge

1.) Fill a pint glass (or stolen copper mug) with ice

2.) Pour vodka over ice

3.) Add ginger beer

4.) Top off with lime juice and bitters
