Slushy Dark and Stormy Cocktail

This easy recipe teaches how to make Moscow Mule, a refreshing vodka-based cocktail.

Ah the shandy, Britain’s low-alcohol pub drink, the ultimate session sipper. This one calls for ginger beer, mixed half-and-half with a mild-tasting lager (no bitter hop bombs, please). Enjoy one for lunch when you have to go back to the office and keep a clear head, or whenever you want a little something that cools and stimulates without making you foggy.

The classic, nonalcoholic version of a cream soda contains club soda, cream, and usually vanilla syrup. Our boozy version uses vanilla and ginger liqueurs instead of syrup and the creamy froth of Guinness stout instead of cream to take this drink from soda fountain to bar top. What to buy: Domaine de Canton is a ginger-flavored liqueur that can be found at specialty liquor stores. Navan vanilla liqueur is a vanilla-infused Cognac made by Grand Marnier.

I usually make this ginger liqueur during the Christmas holidays.

Pegu Club bartender Kenta Goto’s lovely cocktail La Fleur de Paradis spends its evenings perched atop a weathered zinc bar, sipped by the beautiful people of New York. Our rendition of it using wheat beer instead of champagne is more at home in a plastic cup, enjoyed by folks sporting cut-off shorts and soaking in the sun on a picnic blanket or the open gate of a pickup truck.

This fun and easy drink is always a crowd-pleaser!

Its tropical flavour transports you to the beach with every sip, and the nutritional benefits of raw fruits are a bonus.
