Sacha Strebe, Editorial Director
What I’m Making: The Bitter Mule
Why I Love It: “This is the perfect drink for fall because it has a sweet, yet sour flavor and it’s packed with fresh vitamin C (which we all need this time of year!). You can also swap in soda water if you want to cut back on the sugar.”
The Ingredients:
1 lemon, squeezed
1 oz Ketel One Botanical Peach & Orange Blossom
1 cup ginger beer or soda water
Splash of Angostura Aromatic Bitters
1-2 springs of mint
The Directions:
Add all ingredients with ice into a cocktail shaker and shake for 30 seconds.
Pour into a stemmed wine glass and add a splash of bitters for taste.
Garnish with mint.

3 oz. Fever Tree Soda Water
1 tsp. raw honey (optional)

Garnish with peach and lemon slices as well as a sprig of mint.
