#whatifwednesday TLDR: sometimes people still meet dates the old fashioned way 🤝 Apparently the term “meet cute” has been around since the late 30’s as a staple in Hollywood screenwriting.* Characters in a romantic drama or comedy can’t just meet at a cocktail party; they need to have something adorable or kooky happen to throw them together.

Infuse vodka with fresh prickly pear for 3-5 days. Do not use a copper mug for this mule because you need to show off the color! Fill a glass with pebble ice and add the ingredients one at a time. Stir. Garnish with a lime spiral and flowers, then serve.

Editor's Note

Prickly pear-infused vodka brings a vibrant, melon-like sweetness to this refreshing mule. Pebble ice keeps the drink crisp and cold, highlighting the striking color.
