In our Happiest Hour series with AMASS botanical spirits, we talk content and cocktails (or mocktails)—giving you everything you need to set the mood.
The temp rising is calling for things to get spicier, even if that's just from our living room. Continue to be your own bartender with a spicy ginger beer and vodka medley straight from the 1940s. Famously known for being served in a copper mug, the Moscow mule got its start in Hollywood when vodka distributors wanted to kick up sales. All we want to kick up is our feet with a midweek treat. This week's recipe comes straight from Robby, sales director, and longtime beverage expert, at the Los Angeles-based spirit brand, AMASS. Be sure to try a pared-down non-alcoholic version.
Liquid courage.
