The Mexican heat looks bomb!
I would love to make a Mexican Mule.
Really don’t mix much ~ simple margaritas and _____ with coke, etc. I am big on wine and draft beers
Well the holiday has passed but the Mexican Mule recipe is a favorite. I will definitely be making more of these this summer.
i want to try Mexican Heat
The Mexican Mule sounds great! I’ll try it as an alternative to the classic margarita!
I’m feeling any type of margarita right now
I would try the Mexican heat. Wow!
I will be assisting and drinking at my nieces’ craft beer establishment. I will save the Moscow Mule for when my college friends and I are together.
I’d love to try the Mexican Mule—would be great with a plate of Tex Mex deliciousness 🙂
The Mexican Mule sounds delicious….I must try it! 🙂 Thank you.
We have been trying different beverages lately. I’m going for a lemon coconut Moscow mule next.
