A great, signature cocktail can take a group gathering from simple to spectacular. This Thanksgiving, why not up the ante by serving an appropriate and impressive drink? Take a note from Toro in Boston. Their Nantucket Mule is a cranberrific twist on the Moscow Mule (a classic that is credited for popularizing vodka in the States). Watch as mixologist and LUPEC Boston co-founder, Kirsten Amann, gives a demo on how to prepare this light, refreshing and zippy concoction. Recipes for the ingredients can be found below the video. Cheers!
