If you are ever thirsty and in the mood for some mint, head on down to The Local.
With a classic, traditional cocktail in mind The Main Street Mule might just be the drink for you. This drink, set inside of a hefty size copper mug, is a delight in every sip.
The ingredients for a mule are simple: vodka, ginger beer and lime juice. With the size of the mug the Local serves the drink in, you get plenty of bang for your buck with a price tag of only $10.
This libation can be served with your choice of vodkas, and I chose Opelika’s own John Emerald vodka. You can even spruce up your drink a bit by changing up the flavor to either blueberry or cran-apple.
The Local is also a relaxing place to enjoy live music or watch a sporting event with friends. Look around the bar and you will likely see many other patrons sipping on their own mules. It is hard to go wrong with this drink.
On a blisteringly hot or chillingly cold day, the iciness of a mule in general is enough to soothe. But the Main Street Mule takes it up a notch with a solid price tag and sizable portion. Before you know it, you might be three or four deep and feeling like singing with the band yourself.
