What I’m Drinking: The Turfed Cocktail with Moxie Mule Bianco Vermouth 

I was recently lucky enough to be able to write about the 40 Acres Blending Co. for the snazzy Sip Magazine. 40 Acres, based in Snohomish, WA, is the first black-owned vermouth company, with one delicious vermouth available, Moxie Mule Bianco Vermouth, and more on the way. Go check that article out! In it, you’ll discover this cocktail I made with Moxie Mule, but I wanted to put it up on the ol’ Spiked Punch as well, just cause it’s good enough to have two mentions on the interwebs. To learn more about The Turfed, well, once again, read that article. While having this drink, if possible.

The Turfed

Cracked ice

1-1/2 ounces Moxie Mule Bianco Vermouth

2 dashes Scrappy’s Orange bitters

Lemon twist, for garnish

1. Filling a mixing glass or cocktail shaker halfway full with cracked ice. Add all but the twist. Stir well.

2. Strain into a cocktail glass (or comparable like a Nick and Nora glass), and garish with the lemon twist.
