Persimmon & Spice Moscow Mule Cocktail

Mule me!

I’m drooling  over this cocktail concoction! It’s SO says FALL to me!

It’s my Persimmon & Spice Moscow Mule  served up in gorgeous

West Elm copper mugs! Here are the deets:

I’m obsessed  with persimmons right now…the taste, texture and color –

Love it ALL and very autumn like!

For this little fall cocktail elixir, I infused good vodka with persimmon slices,

a cinnamon stick and a vanilla bean. I let that delish combo hang out for several hours.

Meanwhile, I  peeled and pureed several pretty persimmons. Swoon!

Note: Freeze what you don’t immediately use and roll it into

muffins and breads! Recipe to come!

Next, chop some fresh ginger and make some fresh squeezed orange juice.

Brew up some minty simple syrup.

 {ONE part water to ONE part granulated sugar and a 

spring of fresh mint simmered on the stove top for a few minutes.}

Strain and chill.

Okay, it’s muddling time!

Muddle this:

1.5 shots persimmon & spice vodka

half a shot simple syrup

half a shot of fresh squeezed orange juice

3 tablespoons persimmon puree

~   ~   ~  ~  ~

Strain, pushing as much of the goodness through as possible and

pour into ice filled West Elm Mule Mug and top with Ginger Ale!

Cheers to fall persimmon passion!
