Moscow Mule

2 oz Skyy vodka
1 oz Rose’s lime juice
4 oz Verner’s

combined in glass with ice and stirred.

I’ve had the Skyy for a long time, probably since I’ve been in Seattle. So, eight+ years? It’s usually been in the freezer, and vodka doesn’t go bad, does it? It had been opened before. Everything else is of normal age and had been refrigerated. I could have added a lime garnish, but I did not.

It was good, although not as gingery as I wanted. Perhaps less lime juice and/or more ale. Or a different ale or actual ginger beer. It was pretty strong, but that did not hit me until perhaps 30 minutes later. It also made me feel a little alcoholic, so perhaps something funky happened to the vodka. Something to keep track of next time I use the spirit.
