Ahhh the best laid plans of mice and men.
I had Friday nights cocktail all planned and set to be made when I got home from work.
One thing that I hadn't taken into account was how long it took to clear up a broken bottle of Amaretto from the kitchen floor. Yes, just as I was about to open it, ( it was brand new), it slipped out of my hands and smashed on the floor.
My steam mop was brought into play and pulling out the washing machine and dishwasher had not been how I had hoped to spend Friday evening, but they were pulled out twice whilst trying to steam up the sticky mess.
So that cocktail was put on hold until I have purchased another bottle of Amaretto.
I then had to hastily cobble together another cocktail, so opted for a Moscow Mule,
This is a drink that I really enjoy so not an altogether bad substitution.
The ingredients are
Vodka
Freshly squeezed lime juice
Ginger beer
Freshly squeezed ginger
I put the vodka, lime juice and squeezed ginger ( done through a garlic press) into a shaker with ice, quick shake and strain into a glass.
Top up with ginger beer ( or American dry ginger ale if you prefer).
In my case drink this in between steam mopping the kitchen floor.
Have a great week
