Leucadendron 'Safari Sunset' 

Leucadendron Safari Sunset is an evergreen shrub that stands out for its vibrant foliage and ornamental value. As a member of the Proteaceae family, this South African native is highly regarded in horticulture for its bold appearance. Its striking foliage transforms throughout the year, beginning as a deep burgundy or crimson and gradually shifting to hues of orange, red, and yellow as it matures. This impressive color display is the source of the plant's name and makes it a focal point in gardens and landscapes. With a moderate height and dense, bushy habit, Leucadendron Safari Sunset is a visually stunning choice for any outdoor space.

1. Growing Zone:

Safari Sunset is a protea plant that grows in USDA hardiness zones 9-11, preferring a Mediterranean climate with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. It is sensitive to frost and freezing temperatures.

2. Planting:

When cultivating Leucadendron 'Safari Sunset,' it's crucial to provide it with well-draining soil, full sun exposure, and shelter from harsh winter conditions.

3. Watering:

It is crucial to refrain from overwatering, as these plants are suited to arid environments and are highly susceptible to water-saturated soil.

4. Fertilizing:

No Phosphorus. Cactus mix soil.

📝Growing Notes: For a bushy Leucadendron with a clean, upright form, trim the crown or prune the sides. Avoid pruning branches over two years old to ensure regrowth. To create a tree-like form, remove lower branches or hedge for privacy. Use mild and acidic fertilizers such as cottonseed meal or iron, as all-purpose fertilizers can be harmful. Avoid phosphorus and potassium.

Gardening 101: Leucadendrons

Native to South Africa, Leucadendrons are evergreen shrubs and tall trees (like the towering ‘Silver Tree’, which reaches heights of 25 feet)  and are related to other stellar plants such as Banksias, Grevilleas, and Leucospermums. Most of the Leucadendrons that I plant in my clients’ gardens are of a tamer size, such ‘Pisa’ or ‘Safari Sunset’, which grow to a height of from 4 to 8 feet.

Cheat Sheet

• Leucadendrons are grown for their cone-like flowers that are stellar, long- lasting cut flowers. They even survive in my vase long after the water has dried up. Leucadendrons also like to be pruned hard to produce a nicer shape so this is a complete win-win.
• Grow in full sun for the best color and fullness and plant with other low-water plants.  However, don’t allow the plant to touch other shrubs because it needs good air circulation.
• Hardy? Well, only a few survive in temperatures below 20 degrees F.. So consider these semi-tropical specimens.

Keep It Alive

• Leucadendrons despise wet feet and soggy soil, causing them near instant death. To avoid this, plant them on a slope or mound.
• When planting, try not to disturb the roots too much.
• Fertilizing isn’t really needed, but if the plant seems stunted then make sure to avoid high phosphorous fertilizers. Another instant killer.

Moscow Mule

Liquor.com has been serving drinks enthusiasts and industry professionals since 2009. Our writers are some of the most respected in the industry, and our recipes are contributed by bartenders who form a veritable "Who's Who" of the cocktail world.

The Moscow Mule is a classic combination of vodka, ginger beer, and lime. Known for it's iconic copper mug, the drink's enduring popularity has left it as a mainstay in bars since the mid-20th century. Despite its name, the Moscow Mule was actually invented in Los Angeles as part of an early stateside marketing push for vodka, and the drink itself is considered an example of the Buck family of drinks—those that include a spirit with citrus and ginger beer.

The History of the Moscow Mule

The Moscow Mule is a mid-century classic that was born in 1941 and helped contribute to vodka’s rise in America. As the legend goes , it was concocted by two men. John Martin needed to sell Smirnoff vodka, a new and generally unknown spirit during the middle of the 20th century that his distribution company had recently purchased. Another man, bar owner Jack Morgan, wanted to deplete the stash of ginger beer taking up space at his Cock ‘n’ Bull pub. They decided to combine the two ingredients with a little lime, and the rest is history. (Though there is a conflicting origin story that says that a bartender by the name of Wes Price was the true originator of the cocktail’s recipe.)

The origin of the Moscow Mule mug is slightly less clear, though evidence points to the connection originating with a Russian woman named Sophie Berezinski, who's father owned copper factory called Moscow Copper Co. Allegedly, poor sales in their home country left the younger Berezinski to travel to the U.S. to find new buyers.

As historian David Wondrich observes, the copper mugs reached Cock 'n' Bull and were used to create a visually distinct presentation for the new cocktail, helped along by Martin who took Polaroid instant photos (then a recent invention) of Los Angeles bartenders and guests holding the copper mugs alongside bottles of Smirnoff. The photos were displayed throughout the bar and given to patrons to share, almost in the same vein as modern social media influencers. As the photos proliferated throughout the Los Angeles cocktail community, it helped to spur demand for the novel drink.

Regardless of how the drink was invented, the easygoing combination of vodka, spicy ginger and tart lime—all packaged neatly in an eye-catching mug—was a hit. More than a quarter century later, the Moscow Mule remains a star. It has even spawned variations, like the Mezcal Mule with mezcal and the Kentucky Mule with bourbon.

Why the Moscow Mule Works

The simple cocktail combines vodka with ginger beer and fresh lime juice. It’s a no-tools-required drink that is built right in that shiny copper mug. Of course, while said mug is always preferred for serving, it’s not essential and shouldn’t deter you from making a Moscow Mule. The drink tastes great no matter the receptacle. So if a highball glass or rocks glass is all you have on hand, don’t fret.

Any preferred vodka will work nicely in the mule, but high-quality ginger beer is a must. You want a top-notch option that and offers enough of a spicy bite to complement the liquor and lime. And keep that bottle cold before you employ it your Moscow Mule. Cold keeps the bubbles brisk and helps stall dilution when you mix all the drink’s ingredients.

This recipe brings the legendary drink up to date while remaining true to its refreshing roots. At its core, the Moscow Mule is deceptively simple and incredibly easy to mix, perfect for any season.

Liquor.com / Tim Nusog

Ingredients

2 ounces vodka

1/2 ounce lime juice , freshly squeezed

3 ounces ginger beer , chilled

Garnish: lime wheel

Fill a Moscow Mule mug (or highball glass) with ice, then add the vodka and lime juice.

Top with the ginger beer.

Garnish with a lime wheel.

What If I Don’t Have a Copper Mug?

No doubt about it: The textured copper mug is a gorgeous part of a classic Moscow Mule. Truth is, it’s less the copper that matters than the conductivity of copper as a type of metal. So, blasphemous as it may appear, a Julep cup—or any other metal container—is a delightful substitute. Because you’ll still get that frosty, deeply cold result.
