Moscow Mule, Mason Jars & a Giveaway!
You know I’m all about a good cocktail and what they are served in is equally important for making a festive drink.
The Moscow Mule has been around since the 1940’s.
It was fate when the President of Smirnoff vodka got together with the owner of the famous Los Angeles Cock n’ Bull restaurant (who make their own ginger beer), and a classic cocktail was born.
Traditionally, these are served in copper mugs but I’m bucking tradition and serving mine in green mason jars complete with daisy lids.
Moscow Mule Recipe
Ingredients:
-2 oz vodka
-6 oz cold ginger beer (it’s non-alcoholic and I found a four pack a Trader Joe’s)
-1/2 lime
* Squeeze lime into mason jar then add the 1/2 lime to the glass
* add ice
* add vodka
* add ginger beer
pop in a straw for stirring and enjoy
I love that these green jars come in two sizes.

I Would choose different size glass heritage jars. Look perfect for my pantry.
Wow, they have so many choices, I loved the Montana Jar w/Black Lid, or the daisy lids.
I LOVE Fillmore container. Like a kid in a candy store when I go to their website or stop by the business. Currently I would buy some half gallon or gallon growlers to store my organic apple cider vinegar.
Green mason jars-for drinking glasses.
I would choose all of the vintage green jars, plus the Heritage Hill jar with glass lid and the Yorkshire Beverage Dispenser with stand. I can think of so many ways to display for friends and holidays!! These are just awesome!!
I’d get accessories – love the accessories! Cuppow lids, straw lids, and stainless steel straws would be on my list 🙂 I also love the colored jars so it would be a tough choice!
I would love the Montana jars, but lots of the lids would be great too. Love the cuppow and the recap wide mouth cap would be great for my 1/2 gallon containers of raw goat milk (pouring without spilling–what a concept!). I may have to buy that even if I don’t win!
I would choose the Heritage Hill glass jars with lids . They are amazing ! I would fill them with rice and oats for my pantry . Although they are so beautiful I might just have to put them on the counter …to show them off 🙂
I would purchase the Montana jars for the pantry but I also love the blue and green mason jars. Hard to choose.
I think I’d pick a wide mouth stainless canning funnel for starters, then it’d be really hard to decide what I like best-the Yorkshire beverage dispenser, the Montana jars, or the Cracker jars.
