With Christmas fast approaching, it always gets me excited to make one of my favorite festiveĀ special bevs…Moscow Mule.Ā  Don’t y’all love a good one?Ā  I think it’s a combination of the drink itself, as well as the adorable copper mugs.Ā  I am ashamed to say that up until this point I did not have my own copper mugs, but on a recent trip to Homegoods, I spotted some hammered copper ones that I knew I had to have.

I wanted to create a cute Moscow Mule station in my bar area for a recent dinner party we had.Ā  If you remember from a few weeks back, I shared my top finds from the Dollar Store.Ā  One of those finds was great black and white plaid duct tape that I wanted to incorporate into my ChristmasĀ dĆ©cor somehow.

I started to think about what I could do and when I saw the copper mugs, I had an epiphany.Ā  What if I made a DIY plaid tray to go with my Christmas Moscow Mule station?Ā  I went to Michaels and found this great tray for about $5…and actually it was a combo pack, so I have another tray I can use for a future project.

I painted the tray with metallic gold spray paint to really make the copper mugs pop and I just love how the Moscow Mule station turned out!

I got these marquee lights at TJ Maxx for a great price over the summer in our initials. They were the only two left and were sitting next to one another on the shelf…I had to get them!

What I also love about Moscow Mules?Ā  They are easy to make!

All you need is:

  • 2 oz. of Vodka
  • Ginger Beer
  • Lime (one slice in the Moscow Mule and one for garnish)

That’s all…and maybe some ice to make it cold šŸ™‚ What types of festive special bevs do y’all like?Ā  We’d love to hear them!
