What To Serve With It
When I’m sipping on a Moscow Mule, I always think about what snacks or bites would pair perfectly with its zesty, invigorating taste.
I love serving crispy shrimp tacos or tangy chicken skewers—they complement the drink’s lime and ginger flavors. For lighter options, I’ll go for fresh spring rolls or a citrusy ceviche.
If I’m craving something salty, spiced nuts or garlic Parmesan fries hit the spot. Cheese boards with sharp cheddar and crackers are always a crowd-pleaser, too.
And don’t forget dessert! Lemon bars or ginger cookies wrap up the experience perfectly.
It’s all about balance and fun.
