This recipe gives a tropical feel to one of my favourite cocktails, the Moscow Mule. It is very easy to make and is always a hit with a crowd. The flavors of the lime, ginger beer and pineapple juice work together beautifully to make a light and refreshing cocktail that you will be making again and again. Typically Moscow Mules are served in a copper mug, but they are just as good served in a tall glass. This truly is a perfect cocktail to make as we enter into the warmer months.

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces vodka
• 4 ounces ginger beer
• 1/2 cup ice
• 1 1/2 tsp lime juice
• 1 ounce pineapple juice

Directions:
