Ingredients

- Rosemary: Fragrant, earthy herb that pairs wonderfully with mint, and is a seamless add to the classic Moscow Mule.
- Mint leaves: A tender, sweet, aromatic herb, it’s essential you use fresh mint leaves to extract the flavor.

- Ginger beer: Strong, ginger flavor while being slightly spicy to pair with the vodka.
