Moscow Mood

The Moscow Mood is a nod to the classic elegance of the 1940s with a modern twist. It takes inspiration from the robust nature of bourbon and the Russian moniker hinting at a hint of boldness that defines the era. Served in a vintage coupe glass, this cocktail balances the warmth of bourbon with the brightness of fresh citrus and a whisper of ginger spice. Ingredients: - 2 oz Bourbon - 1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz Honey ginger syrup (equal parts honey, water, and sliced fresh ginger, simmered and cooled) - 2 dashes of Angostura bitters - Lemon twist for garnish - Ice cubes Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, add the bourbon, fresh lemon juice, honey ginger syrup, and Angostura bitters. 2. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously until well chilled. 3. Strain the mixture into a chilled vintage coupe glass. 4. Garnish with a lemon twist, running the twist around the rim of the glass to release the oils before dropping it into the drink. 5. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, mood-setting tones of the Moscow Mood.
