The Tilda is a refreshing cocktail that appears to take inspiration from the classic Moscow Mule, with its combination of vodka and ginger beer, which provides a spicy kick and effervescent quality to the drink. Enhanced with the addition of fresh mint leaves, it gains an aromatic freshness that complements the citrus notes from the lime. Typically served in a cocktail glass, the Tilda offers a balance of flavors that can be enjoyed as a revitalizing beverage, especially well-suited for warm weather or as an invigorating accompaniment to a casual gathering.
