This delicious twist on a gin mule combines tart grapefruit juice with sweet sparkling wine for a refreshing cocktail that’s also so easy to make!
You know when you meet someone and you instantly want to be best friends with that person?! That’s exactly how I felt when I met my friend Laura!
She’s the owner of the craft destination distillery, You & Yours Distilling Co. in downtown San Diego. Needless to say, she’s a boozy boss lady, which I love! In addition to dominating in the distillery world, she’s also the sweetest person ever and so much fun.
With the Oscars coming up this weekend, I couldn’t wait to get in the kitchen and whip up a scrumptious craft cocktail with Laura’s “Sunday Gin” from You & Yours Distilling Co.
Since champagne and moscow mules are two of my favorite drinks, I decided to combine the two in this gin mule recipe. I could seriously sip on this drink all day. It’s so refreshing, slightly tart, slightly sweet and totally bubbly!

Where does one find ginger beef exactly? (typo in the instructions ;-)) This sounds really good, tho – looks like those moscow mule mugs we got as a random present from the MIL are going to get used after all!
Hi Tobi, thanks for pointing out my typo! Enjoy the recipe in your moscow mule mugs 🙂
