John Barritt and Son, Bermuda’s foremost distributor of fine beverages, is bringing on the joyful festivities this winter with Barritt’s Stone Ginger Beer. We’ve extolled the virtues of this traditional Bermudian drink before; it’s refreshing and spicy, and wonderful in the kitchen! Google “cooking with gingerbeer” and you’ll be amazed by the diversity and wow factor of the recipes.

As our good friend Bruce Barritt says, “Bubbly, tasty, full of spice, refreshing and exciting. When it hits your tastebuds, mate, full flavour is igniting.”

The Yule Mule is a holiday variation on the popular Moscow Mule. This recipe makes 2 cocktails.
