Kristine’s Merry Moscow Mule Recipe Made with Spirits from Eau Claire Distillery

The holiday season is underway, which means that in addition to hustling and bustling; we’re eating and drinking. My hubby and I love to entertain and we always have a few of our friends stopping by during the holiday season, which means that MUST be prepared with creative cocktails. We just discovered a yummy holiday-themed cocktail made with Prickly Pear EquineOx by Eau Claire Distillery. Enter my new favorite—the Merry Moscow Mule. It’s perfect for those happy holiday get-togethers.

I was recently given a sample of award-winning craft spirits from Eau Claire Distillery, which is a Canadian distillery that provides premier farm-to-glass spirits. I tried out the Parlour Gin and Prickly Pear EquineOx from this company and both were smooth and made delightful cocktails.

Eau Claire uses traditional farming methods to farm its grain, with help from 30 teams of draft horses and antique farm equipment. The distillery is fully integrated, using the best industry equipment that allows its three master distillers to produce the highest quality craft spirits straight from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and the best barley-growing region in the world.

As I mentioned above, I made what I have deemed the Merry Moscow Mule. I created the drink with the Eau Claire The Prickly Pear EquineOx, which is a sweet, barley based alternative to gin or vodka that can be served on ice or enjoy it as a complement to your favorite cocktail. I took the Eau Claire Moscow Mule recipe and gave it my own twist. Instead of the copper mug and ice, I served it in a holiday martini glass with a slice of lime, no ice and added some pomegranate seeds (not pictured) as well.

Here’s the recipe:

Kristine’s Merry Moscow Mule Recipe

1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
2 oz. Prickly Pear EquineOx
6 oz. ginger beer

Pour the EquineOx and lime juice into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Strain into martini glass and top off with the ginger beer. Garnish with the lime wedge and add a few pomegranate seeds into the glass for added color.

If you are a fan of gin, definitely give the Parlour Gin a try. It’s a London-dry style gin, which means that it augments more traditional gin botanicals creating a juniper berry induced dryness, but with unique hints of rosehip, Saskatoon berry, coriander, lemon, orange, mint and spice. It is dry with a smooth, texture and is infused with a selection of special botanicals that give it a unique flavor.

Here’s a holiday-themed recipe from Eau Claire that you can impress your friends with:
