St. Patrick’s Day — a time to eat, drink and be merry. Also, a time to drink your share of green beer and Irish Car Bombs .. while savoring a plate of corned beef & cabbage. This year, we’re changing things up a bit (yes, we’ve grown up a bit) and making our drinks a bit more sophisticated. Say hello to the Blarney Stone
That’s our drink of choice this year, especially right now, as a package of Reed’s Ginger Brew arrived on our doorstep this morning. The Blarney Stone, also known as the Moscow Mule, combines ginger brew, vodka and a squeeze of lime — so, perfect timing. And, Reed’s Ginger Brew is made with all natural ingredients, making it an all-around “green” drink.
Blarney Stone — the recipe
2 oz vodka
8 oz Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew
Lime Wedge
Squeeze a lime into a Collins glass (or copper mug) and drop the wedge. Add 2-3 large ice cubes. Then, pour in the the vodka and fill with Reed’s Extra Ginger Beer. Serve with a stirring rod.
