Hail M Gin & Tonic Cocktail Infusion Kit– DIY Botanical Mixer with Blueberry, Hibiscus, Citrus & Lavender – No Sugar or Preservatives – Craft Gin Cocktail Kit – 5 Cocktail Teabags

This was my first experience with Moscow Mules. Following the instructions and letting the sachet steep in the vodka for 5 minutes, I made a credible Moscow Mule according to my husband, who is familiar with the beverage. It yielded a pleasant beverage with a lime undertone with a whisper of mint.The label has basic instructions to add a sachet to vodka, then add ginger ale & ice. Instructions on the website add to allow the sachet to steep for at least 5 minutes. This would have been a nice detail to add to the packet instructions, as I'm sure there are times when they will be used in a situation where one doesn't have access to the Internet, and that 5 minute steeping time makes a HUGE difference in the flavor of the end product.These Moscow Mule sachets are low-mess and super easy to use.

I do love this concept because it is a fun low calorie alternative to some popular cocktails. I love that the tea bags are see-through so I can see what is in them and it appears to be all natural ingredients along with a little bit of sugar which is great. I do think it takes some getting used to because these only give the alcohol an ever so slight taste and dont offer stronger flavored drinks. I personally tend to go for less alcohol tasting drinks but found that these were good for a fun occasion.

Hail M Cocktails Moscow Mule Infusion Bags makes it simple to make a Moscow Mule for yourself when you are on the go. The order includes a resealable bag holding five 0.1 oz pyramid shaped tea bags. To use, you just need to place the infusion bag in a glass, add 2 ounces of vodka or your spirit of choice, add ice, top with ginger ale, and then sip and enjoy. It was easy to assemble the drink but one detail that surprised me was the importance of ice. If you don't include ice prior to pouring in the ginger ale, you will find the infusion bag floating at the top of the drink. The ice is pivotal in keeping the bag completely submerged in the beverage. You can use a spoon to hold the infusion bag at the base of your cup if you don't have ice. Unlike the teas that I usually drink, the manufacturer does not specify how long you need to steep the infusion bag for the ideal results. I kept the bag in my drink for 10 minutes because I figured it would take that long for the two thin lime slices to re-hydrate. Surprisingly, the texture of the lime remained as hard as it was when I first placed the infusion bag into the drink. The finished libation had distinct mint flavor notes complemented with sweet ginger while the lime flavor was surprisingly soft. The price of the infusion bags at the time this review was written is on the high side even when considering the convenience of having mint, crystallized ginger, and lime in a portion controlled serving. There are 5 servings per container with each 1 bag serving containing 5 Calories, 0g Total Fat, 2g Total Carbohydrate, and 0g Protein. The ingredients are recognizable and pronounceable including dried lime, crystallized ginger, and dried mint. It is an all natural, gluten-free, not sugar added, and vegan product that is crafted by hand. Interestingly, the package that I received did not state a best by or expiration date. Overall, it's a convenient way to make a single serving Moscow Mule but because of its price, I don't see myself adding it again to my Amazon cart. 

Easy to use and tasty! My husband loved these while on vacation! Great Value!

Really easy to use and light weight. When i’m traveling Hail M is the first thing in my bag. It’s super handy to have when I’m out and about and makes a great cocktail in minutes for a really good price.I love to see the real fruit and sugar pieces. A unique gift for a cocktail lover!

I really wanted to like these--it's a great concept--but the execution (especially for the price) left a lot to be desired. I drink very rarely, and thought this might be a way to elevate the experience just a bit more. These are essentially tea bags with a few bits of dried citrus or berry and a scant quantity of thyme, lavender or hibiscus.One bag was either split open or not sealed (see the picture) along one side of the pyramid bag which left it pretty much useless unless I wanted to perform meatball surgery--which after allowing 30 minutes of steeping time on the first bag, I wasn't inclined to do.While alcohol is a solvent, 5 minutes of steeping the lime-and-thyme bag in gin yielded nothing discernible. So I gave it 10 minutes. Then 15, 20 and finally gave up at 30 minutes of steeping time with an almost imperceptible shift in the flavor of the gin before I added the ice and tonic. The lime was still brittle at 30 minutes and I couldn't tell that the lime or thyme were there. It might be better for use as suggested on an airplane, but I wouldn't suggest trying it on anything shorter than a U.S. cross-country flight.Because I *wanted* to like this, I tried the lemon and lavender in vodka, and mixed it with soda. I figured a neutral spirit and club soda would let me taste the lemon and lavender. There was a faint pretty lavender tinge and a faint lavender fragrance to the vodka at 30 minutes of steeping, and I muddled the bag a bit to see what might happen. (I did everything I could to give this the benefit of the doubt short of making an actual cocktail with it.)I ended up tossing the lemon-lavender vodka soda out. It wasn't just 'not-bad' like the lime-and-thyme in the gin and tonic, it was definitely not-good. I love the flavor and fragrance of lavender and lemon, but I think the bitter pith of the lemon was all that was preserved there.Out of 5 bags: one was not-bad, one was not good, one was unusable and two I gave up and didn't try because they were simply dried fruit and that hadn't worked out well so far.I gave it two stars because the lime and thyme wasn't bad and the lemon and lavender might have been more bitter than it should have been because I muddled it. Overall, this was a disappointment--especially at over $4 per bag.
