The Moscow Mule

CarrieLeave a comment

This past weekend I went to the Revel in Atlantic City while some college friends were visiting. We had the most delicious delicious dinner at the Mussel Bar and I also came away with $75 more dollars to my name thanks to the slot machines. It was another fabulous night had by mostly everyone involved. I believe my friend Karla might have discovered that AC is just not her thing.

Here’s a recipe for a Moscow mule which I had at dinner. It’s a great refreshing drink and is a good way to kick off the month of August!

Moscow Mule
1 ounce vodka
1 tsp. sugar syrup
Fresh lime juice
1/2 cup ginger beer
1 sprig fresh mint
1 slice of lime

Cookie Monster

Here’s an easy way to make a small tot happy. Surprise them with a cookie monster. Simply cut a cookie in two and put a layer of frosting between the two halves. Then pipe two dots of frosting onto the top half and place chocolate chips in the center for the eyes. Insert chocolate chips around the outer edge for a mouth. Now you have a friendly cookie monster for your little one.

Ice Cream Jubilee Cake

Here’s a cake that will simply make you smile. I know it makes me think of all the wonderful trips to the old fashioned ice cream parlor in Ocean City, NJ after a long night at the boardwalk. I would go there with my cousins and we would all order our favorite ice cream treats. Too be young again when the only worry in the world was if you should order your vanilla cone with chocolate or rainbow sprinkles!
