Muddled Fig Moscow Mule

To kick off the fall season, Simply Vodka is going to showcase some of our favorite fall vodka cocktails.  Figs are one of my personal favorites and the figs on my trees are just now starting to get good and ripe – what better than to turn some of them in to fig vodka cocktails?  Our first fall vodka cocktail for this season is a Muddled Fig Moscow Mule.  I highly recommend using a cane sugar based ginger beer as I personally believe they taste much better and produce a higher quality cocktail.  We used a bottle of Barritts Bermuda Stone Ginger Beer for this recipe tonight and highly recommend it!
