As a producer of virtually everything and anything that has to do with citrus, it's fitting that Sunkist shared a citrus drink recipe to bring a twist to the classic Moscow Mule.
Sunkist's version is called the Citrus Mule and is appropriately infused with plenty of lemon in the form of an elixir, freshly squeezed juice, peels and garnishes.
Like the traditional version of this drink, vodka is what gives it the alcoholic kick. Sunkist uses a combination of Stoli's Vodka and Ginger Beer, which gives the drink an even tangier punch. However, the inclusion of sugar is a big help in cutting out some of the tartness of the strong ginger and lemon flavors featured in this cocktail.
