Moscow Mule fans: Ginger beer is here…

And maybe it has been here for a long time. But I spotted my first can at the new and spacious April Gourmet near Workers Stadium north this afternoon. (Truth be told, I tend to do my shopping at wet markets at 5 AM after watching some sports event at an ungodly hour, but I digress.) Anyway, this takes us a step closer to the perfect Moscow Mule. And next time I head to Ichikura, I am bringing a can or two of this rare liquid, just in case they don’t have any in stock…

    Ginger beer can often be found in Jenny Lou’s around the city in bottles from some Australian company called “Bundaberg”. More often than not all the non-diet ones are conspicuously missing when I look though from time to time they are there too.

    Thanks Russell,

    I have seen Bundaberg products before but not the ginger beer. I guess we just have to get more bars stocking the stuff…

    Cheers, Boyce

    hah, Jim. This time you’re quite late when it comes to news and i think you should name it “olds”
    However, i do agree with you that the weather is perfect for a Moscow Mule.

    My favorite drink as well. Can be picked up at Jenny Lou’s in Jianwai SOHO and a small grocery store behind Fu Li Cheng.

    Barritt’s Ginger Beer is the best.
