The days are growing shorter, the nights colder and the river’s
running lower: telltale signs of a Montana summer coming to a close, and
quickly. Soon gone are the days of fireworks, soon to come are the nights spent
around the fireplace warming fingers and toes. As we in Big Sky cherish the
last moments of the warmer months, there is still time to enjoy a summery
cocktail, but with a twist, a bit of bite to match the creeping winter to come.
The Moscow Mule, a cocktail prized across the nation for
it’s tangy, citrusy, vodka-filled goodness, can be tweaked with a Montana
drinker’s staple, whiskey, for a new take that is sure to refresh. So pour one
up, sit outside in your favorite fleece, and toast summers past and summers ahead
with a Montana Mule.
