Just imagine…it’s a nice summer evening…you have a couple of friends over. You prepared a little nice spot in the backyard with a table and some comfy chairs. You sit together and talk about all the cool stories that happened in the past…all the crazy stuff you’ve been through together – “oh remember that one time…” – and the plans you have in the future. There is a nice summer breeze. You picked the Moscow Mule as the go-to drink for that evening. So basically everything is perfect. But there is always a point when that little stomach of yours says “hey man I need some material down here”. And that’s the point when you look for some snacks around the house. You will probably find something, but it will be much more satisfying if you thought about it beforehand and prepared something awesome. I was in that situation way too many times. And that’s exactly the reason that when I plan a night with my friends, I always have a Snack-Plan! A Snack-Plan is easy and it is effective. And it is much more satisfying than some peanuts, which you have around the house.
So basically what am I trying to say? Have a Snack-Plan! Here are some of my favorites, which never fail to satisfy. Check them out. Also, we highly recommend you having a look at our Ultimate Moscow Mule Variation Guide to get some ideas for your next Mule evening with your friends!
Kettle Potato Chips
This is a no-brainer. Potato chips…a classic and so many flavors to choose from. Everyone has his or hers favorite brand, but if you didn’t try Chips from Kettle…Boy you’re missing out. I discovered them half a year ago and this is the only brand I am buying chips from. Especially on Amazon you can get them at a great price since you’re getting several packs in on buy. This also how you always have a safe snack-pack at home for the next time your friends are over. The variety of flavors is the most important thing about a chips brand, of course after the taste. But if it comes to taste you won’t be disappointed when it comes to Kettle chips. I tried almost every flavor and the one I can highly recommend are Avocado Oil Himalayan Salt and Jalapeño! These flavors go especially great with Moscow Mule, since they are not overpowering the Ginger Beer. If you wanna try something special get yourself a pack of Moscow Mule favored ones. I bought them out of fun and didn’t expect much, but they are actually quite nice! Fruity and gingery taste, not exactly like a Moscow Mule, but I actually liked them!
Goat Cheese Toasts
This one is so easy to make and gives you a nice feeling of a gourmet snack. Get some toasts or a baguette. Get some goat cheese. Put the cheese on the bread. 5 minutes into the oven and it’s done. Amazing and delicious!
Gummy Bears
Gummy Bears…do I have to say more? I mean this brings you straight back to your childhood days and you can snack them like nothing else. Cheap, everyone likes them and every bear has another flavor. HARIBO Gummy Bears is my favorite brand, but you can basically get them from any other brand as well. I also found these Moscow Mule favored Gummy Bears and just had to include them as well. They actually come quite close to the Moscow Mule taste and are something different. Give them a go!
Sushi
This one is more a meal than a snack. But if you don’t eat a bunch of them they are also nice to satisfy that little hunger in between. This is also my got to favorite especially if it is still early in the evening. Get our phone order some nice Sushi and you have it half an hour later on the table without doing anything. Why I especially like Sushi is because it doesn’t leave any flavor after you eat it in your mouth and you still can taste your drink in its full glory. I know Sushi is not for everyone, but if you like think about it the next time you enjoy some drinks at your place!
Nachos & Guacamole
Nachos & Guacamole…I simply love this! And usually eat way too much and regret it afterwards… Actually not really! You simply can’t have enough Nachos & Guacamole in your life! Grab some Avocados and a pack of Nachos and you’re good to go. Making Guacamole might be a little hustle, but be honest it is worth it. I also highly recommend the Avocado Slicer as singly the best invention in the avocado business! That tool lets you make Guacamole ten times faster and easier.
- All in one tool splits, pits and slices avocados
- Stainless steel pitter removes pit with one quick twist
Shots
Another great liquid snack are shots! Make sure to check out our favorite shot collection! It is worth it and there is always a time during the night to have some! Combine them with some Drinking Games and the night will be one to remember… Or maybe not, depending on the amount of shots!
