I can't take credit for this, I got the idea online. But it was a big hit at a party last summer with extra spicy fresh jalapeños from my garden!
Moscow Mule with a kick
- 6 oz. ginger beer
- 2 oz. vodka
- 1/2 oz. lime juice
- fresh jalapeño slices (see note)
Combine ingredients in a glass over ice, stir gently, garnish with slice of lime. Watch out, it gets spicier as you go!
Note: two slices per glass is sufficient, if you are looking for a lot of spice leave the seeds, to scale back remove them.

This sounds fantastic, I love a good Moscow Mule or variation. I recently had a Margarita with Jalapenos in it for the first time - and the addition really suprised me! It maintains a certain level of freshness, while bringing some real fire to your palate.

It's amazing what that spiciness adds to the drink isn't it? I should try jalapeños in some other favorites, a spicy margarita sounds delicious!

I was blown away by the enhancement of flavors. The spicy was spicy, but the sweet was sweeter, and the crisp was crisper. I can't begin to recommend this highly enough.
