Nearly every month on the calendar has a day or two dedicated to a particular cocktail, but there is only one National Cocktail Day, and it's today!
Since choosing a favorite cocktail would feel a bit too much like choosing a favorite child (a widely recognized no-no), we decided to celebrate today with a mashup. This complex sipper is part spicy mojito, part gin & tonic, and part [city that shall not be named] mule.
It really makes a difference to start by muddling some mint leaves in the bottom of your glass, so don't skip that part! If you want to tone down the spiciness level a bit, you can leave out the second Mixicles cube. But we love how it keeps adding flavor and balance as it melts.
Jalapeño Citrus Mixicles are available online in a single-flavor pack. You can also find them in our Essential Collection.
Happy drinking!
