I was near Silver Pass Lake in the sierras. It was so flavorful. I felt responsible to let people know.

in both small and bulk quantities

I have always packed garlic powder and other seasonings, but these will make camp meals even tastier!

What we lack in sophistication, we make up with an ungodly amount of cheese.

A few weeks ago there was a discussion about backcountry cocktail recipes. I thought I’d share the bourbon mule recipe I developed as a result.

1 packet of Trader Joe’s 100% ginger juice drink mix in about 12 oz cold water.

2-3 packets of True Lime to taste.

~3 T brown sugar (to taste, I didn’t measure).

A pinch of cayenne pepper if desired.

2-3 oz. of bourbon.

You could easily swap out your spirits here. Prefer a Moscow mule? Bring vodka. Want a dark and stormy? Use dark rum.

It was quite a nice drink at the end of a long hike. Cheers!
