On a hot day, especially when grilling, we love moscow mules.
But we like to change them up.
We adore this Lemon Blueberry Moscow Mule and have been enjoying it for several summers now.
Last summer we also created this incredible Berry Basil Moscow Mule. It’s AMAZING and so refreshing.
Add more fruit if you want, add more basil if you want, add different berries if you want.
You will love this cocktail on a hot day.

There are so many yummy things to try!
