Moscow Mule Mercredi, Merci

On my recent trip to LA, I re-discovered my love for a Moscow Mule. Did you know the cocktail was invented in Hollywood. It was actually conceived in the 1940’s as a promotional tool for vodka – that’s right, at the time it was a rather unfashionable spirit. This time around, I made it with the Double Black vodka Smirnoff sent me. The trick to a great mule, is to make sure you pick a great ginger beer, don’t skimp out. The result: a perfect Moscow.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
