Ginger beer is a necessary ingredient in my favorite summer drink.  (Bars
around here make it with 7-Up - YUCK!).  Ginger ale just won't do, as it
is the ginger beer that gives it its kick.  Save this recipe for next
August, and drink it while lounging on your porch swing.

		MOSCOW MULE
		(from a Smirnoff brochure, I believe)

		1 shot vodka
		juice of 1/2 lime
		Ginger Beer

		Pour vodka over ice in a tall glass;
		add lime juice and fill with ginger
		beer.  Stir, sip, and enjoy.
