Back in January, fans FREAKED OUT over PHD Terrace at Dream Midtown's giant spiked hot cocoa, which weighed a whopping 20 pounds (I had the bicep soreness to prove it). This month, the rooftop bar in New York City is back with another mondo cocktail—a giant Moscow mule. The drink arrives just in time for National Moscow Mule Day, which falls on Sunday, March 3.
Let's break down the stats: The Orange Blossom Moscow Mule clocks in at 10 pounds, has an ENTIRE bottle of vodka, serves up to eight people, and costs $225. So, if you do the math, it'll cost about $28 a person, which is still a little steep for drinks with friends, but you also get the novelty of an Insta-worthy photo moment.
The cocktail is made with blood orange puree and ginger beer, but what sets it apart are the over-the-top garnishes. Notable ones include rock candy, blood orange foam, and an oversized white chocolate sphere covered in boozy gummy bears. While the mule won't be a permanent item, it'll be available through spring, so there's plenty of time to rally your friends. If you somehow don't manage to make it in time, PHD Terrace offers its standard Mega Moscow Mule year round.
