The Irish Mule

March 3, 2017 · 1 Comment

The Irish Mule | Dreamery EventsThere was no way I was passing on celebrating the inaugural National Moscow Mule Day! Ever since taking my first sip back when I was living in Arizona, it instantly became one of my favorite cocktails. Over the years my cocktail drinking and appreciation has definitely become refined, some would even say I’m a bit of a snob or picky. But the real truth is that I really can’t stand sweet drinks or concoctions made with too many processed flavorings. You’re talking to the girl who makes Mojitos without simple syrup.

Mojitos take reign as my go-to, then there was a solid Whiskey Ginger phase. I’ll always prefer a chilled glass of Whiskey or Scotch, and of course the Moscow Mule! It’s only been in recent years that this refreshing and perfectly spicy cocktail gained the popularity that it has now. There are no frills about it, the classic using just three ingredients; vodka, lime and ginger beer. Yet, the variations are endless! I love creating seasonal Mules, cranberry and pomegranate in the winter, blueberries and cucumber in the summer. And since St. Patrick’s Day is in a few weeks I thought it was perfect timing to share the Irish Mule, combining flavors from two of my favorite cocktails.The Irish Mule | Dreamery EventsIf you’re a longtime fan of the original Moscow Mule, as I am, but haven’t tried the Irish version, then you’re in for a treat. The vodka is replaced with your preferred whiskey and fresh mint for even more freshness and a fun pop of color, of course.The Irish Mule | Dreamery EventsThe Irish Mule | Dreamery EventsThe Irish Mule | Dreamery EventsServe up your Mules in chilled copper mugs. No they’re not only for pictures, traditionally mules are served in these mugs to keep them colder longer. The final result is a cocktail that is spicy, smooth, comforting and anything but sweet. But if you like a bit of sweetness add a few teaspoons of honey.The Irish Mule | Dreamery EventsI highly suggest you save this recipe, I have a feeling it’s going to be an entertaining staple this Spring and Summer. Cheers!

    […] If you’ve noticed, my blog posts during March were sparse. I just didn’t have the time to put projects and content I’ve worked on together to share. But I did manage to share one of my favorites events I styled, this Enchanted Forest 1st Birthday, seriously it’s one of the loveliest parties. I still managed to share some Spring Cleaning DIY’s like my go-to Natural All Purpose Cleaner, as well as some fun projects like this Pet or Child Teepee and the easiest “No Sew” Pillow Covers. I of course still managed to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, with a decadent Guinness Chocolate Cake with Bailey’s Cream Cheese Frosting and my new favorite cocktail, the Irish Mule. […]

I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early da I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early days w. remnants of the previous month still lingering…
the fragrant & gorgeous Jacaranda trees lighting up cobblestone alleys lined w. pastel colored buildings, becoming more vibrant as Summer’s heat begins to near….
Walking along the Rio Tejo feeling so close to the sea but not quite there & the streets not yet crowded w. vacationers basking in the city’s delight … walking around Lisboa is certainly a creative treat!! I’d love to be able to squeeze in a little summer travel; change of scenery is always such an inspiration, especially when life seems a bit crazy these days. 

Any fun summer travels planned? Hope everyone enjoys the first weekend of summer🌼

how fleeting you have been sweet, darling June… how fleeting you have been
sweet, darling June…

it seems we’re all being kept too busy these days, I don’t want the simple treasures of this month to go by so quickly but it’s like I haven’t slowed down enough to catch my breath between events & to do’s — not since my birthday, these flowers & a cake I enjoyed making too much to photograph. They weren’t for my birthday, but for someone else’s, but it really was the joy of creating this arrangement however way the color yellow called to me, foraging for delicate peonies, garden roses & stems that would make these uniquely special🌿

Not the most picturesque photo of these beautiful florals (you can swipe for those), but I’m quite enamored w. this shot … perhaps it’s that gentle reminder to slow down & take note of the in-between…
