This drink was a mix of vodka, ginger ale, and lime served on the rocks in a short glass. The ginger ale and lime combined well with each other and with food. The vodka was undetectable, which is fine since vodka isn’t supposed to have much of a flavor (but secretly, I prefer that it does). This was my first Moscow Mule and I can’t say I found it particularly interesting but it was certainly drinkable.

Most of my posts on nightlife feature a specific cocktail that I’ve enjoyed rather than focusing on the atmosphere of the bar, club, or wine bar that I’m patronizing. Largely, that’s because I care more about what’s in my glass than I do what’s playing on the speakers. However, I am far more likely to enjoy neighborhood dive bars and wine bars than I am a club or anywhere with loud music. I’ll still give the latter a try, and if the beverages are inventive and fun, I’ll be back no matter the soundtrack!
My standard order at a bar that likely doesn’t make fancy cocktails? A whiskey and ginger beer or a gin and tonic. Learn more about my nightlife and cocktail posts here.
