The Roman Mule
Chairs: World Market Table: West Elm
The classic mule gets an Italian makeover for summer with the addition of a basil-infused simple syrup.
I’m a huge fan of the Moscow Mule and it’s super refreshing taste makes it the perfect summer cocktail. If you’ve been following along on the blog for a while, you know I am a fan of re-creating the classic with seasonal flavors (example one here and two here).I’m trying my hand at this again for summer by creating what I’m calling the Roman Mule.
The Roman Mule is the Italian cousin of your favorite classic mule. The addition of basil leaves and a basil infused simple syrup makes it an even more refreshing version of the original that’s perfect for summer. With the abundance of basil this time of year, it’s pretty much the ideal cocktail to drink on a summer weekend (or weeknight for that matter).
This past week MJD and I finally had some of our furniture delivered including our kitchen table (sneak peek above!). This definitely called for a celebration! I whipped up a few of my Roman Mules, paired them with some easy snacks (tomato, mozzarella and basil skewers) and a delish dinner for our first meal at our new table.That followed by the first episode of The Night Of made for an awesome date night in 🙂
Are you a fan of the mule like I am?
