A friend the other day wished me a happy “little Friday” last Thursday and I was pretty sure it was the cutest phrase ever. So of course, I’m stealing it and wishing you all a very happy “little Friday” too! And because even the smallest victories like making it through the workweek call for a celebration, I’m busting out my favorite Moscow mule glasses to celebrate “big Friday” tomorrow.It’s no secret that I’m a serious fan of Moscow Mules and I decided to mix things up a bit by trying a new variation of my favorite recipe. I spotted Figuenza the other day while browsing the liquor aisle and decided to give the fig flavored vodka a try! Now it’s my secret ingredient for spring and summer Moscow Mules, and I’m a big fan of the added complexity of the fig with the lime and ginger of the original recipe. Believe me, if you’re looking to mix up your usual cocktail routine, give this guy a try! And since I’m not widely known for being the most amazing mixologist in the world, the recipe is extra easy for us not so talented at-home bartenders 😉

What you’ll need to make two cocktails: 

• 6 oz. Figenza Fig Vodka
•  2 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
•  Top with Ginger Beer

Then you literally just mix everything together and drink in the goodness! I’m planning on making these for upcoming spring parties and get togethers with my favorite girlfriends. Have any other killer cocktails for the season? Please share with the class so we can virtual cheers all summer long 😉 xx
