Take a moment and think about all of those chance meetings you have had in your lives. Perhaps that is how you met your life partner? Maybe that is how you started a business venture. What role do these chance meetings play in innovation? In this episode, the B and B hosts explore the role innovation plays in and out of the spirits world looking at the history of the Moscow Mule.

Call your barfly buddy and make your preferred Mule and join in on the spirited conversation about innovation vs tradition. Listen here….

Recipe for a Mule:

• Spirit of your choice (we used Evan Williams Bottled in Bond, which you can never go wrong with)
• An ounce of fresh squeezed lime juice
• Six ounces of ginger beer
• We used the traditional copper mugs
• Garnish with a lime wedge
