Refreshingly Real Brooklyn Crafted Ginger Beer

I’m definitely a “wine girl,” but every now and then I prefer to have a delicious cocktail. One of my very favorites is the Moscow Mule. It’s a vodka drink made with lime juice, but the star of the show is the ginger beer–and of course, the copper mug.

I was recently introduced to a ginger beer from Brooklyn Crafted that made my mule a million times better! Brooklyn Crafted is made in Brooklyn, New York with the finest ingredients, for beverage enthusiasts who love the crisp bite of ginger. These ginger beers are made with 100 percent real ginger and pure cane sugar and you can truly taste the difference from others. It tingles your tongue with its sparkling, fizzy finish and you can actually see and taste the ginger particles in every beautiful unfiltered sip.

Brooklyn Crafted has four different varieties of ginger beer, including Traditional, Mango, Earl Grey, and Lemon & Lime. All of the flavors are tasty and refreshing. I especially took a liking to the Lemon & Lime. It’s perfect for making a cocktail if you don’t have any lemons or limes around. This is a great alternative to having juice on hand, especially if you are making a cocktail like a Moscow Mule.

Sharing is caring and I’m happy to deliver a delicious recipe (or two) your way. As I mentioned earlier, the Moscow Mule is my favorite and is definitely a crowd pleaser. You’ll notice my cups have seen better days as copper is hard to keep pristine, but ah, it still does the job well. Here’s what you need to make this refreshing libation. We enjoyed some on our patio, as it was about 70 degrees today here.
