You're out and about in the city in the evening. The air is bitterly cold and your breath forms little clouds in front of your face. The asphalt shines in the light of the street lamps and the city seems to pulsate with its own rhythm. The winter wind blows cheekily through your hair. You stroll through the alleys, here and there you hear the sound of sparkling laughter wafting out of a bar. You shiver slightly but somehow don't feel like being in a stuffy, overheated interior. What do you do?
You pull out your FLSK drinking bottle and enjoy your Spicy Winter Mule, which you have already prepared at home. Of course, it is still pleasantly warm in your insulated bottle. With the mixture of fresh ginger, sparkling ginger beer and aromatic spices, this drink is just the thing to make you glow inside after a walk through the wintry city. Sip by sip you warm up. And so you enjoy the half hour until you meet your loved ones to the fullest.
This is what you need for one glass:
-
50 ml vodka
-
100 ml ginger beer
-
1-2 fresh ginger slices
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 sprig of rosemary
-
1 cinnamon stick
-
A handful of cranberries
-
ice cubes
It's that easy:
-
Add a handful of cranberries, a slice of ginger and a pinch of cinnamon to the glass. To release the aromas, gently crush the ingredients, for example with a cocktail muddler.
-
Fill the glass with ice cubes.
-
Pour the vodka over the ice and stir briefly.
-
Now add the ginger beer and stir gently again.
-
Decorate the drink with a sprig of rosemary and a cinnamon stick.
Tips and Tricks:
-
For an even more intense ginger flavor, you can also grate the ginger into the glass.
-
If you don't like vodka, you can use gin as an alternative - this will give the cocktail a slightly fresher note. Or you can leave out the alcohol completely.
-
If you like the cocktail a little sweeter, you can add some honey or agave syrup.
