Cock'n Bull

Unlike wintry eggnog or a refreshing summer Paloma, the Moscow Mule isn’t designed for just one season. The combination of vodka, spicy ginger beer, and lime is ideal for year-round drinking. Like its cousin the Dark and Stormy, it’s a “buck,” a drink made with alcohol, citrus, and ginger beer or ginger ale.

A quintessential British cocktail, the Pimm's cup is a perfect summer drink-light and bright and thirst-quenching, with only about half the alcohol you'd find in most other highballs, like a gin and tonic or Dark and Stormy. It is also dead simple to throw together, making it a great option to have at a party. All you need is a bottle of Pimm's No. 1-a gin-based liqueur flavored with a proprietary mix of botanicals, fruit, and spices-and some soda.
