Moscow Mule cocktail

Moscow Mule Cocktail Recipe

The Moscow Mule is a lively and refreshing cocktail made with vodka, ginger beer, and fresh lime juice, traditionally served in a chilled copper mug. Its sharp, spicy kick from the ginger beer is balanced by the citrusy brightness of lime and the smoothness of vodka. Originating in the 1940s, the drink played a key role in popularizing vodka in the United States. The copper mug isn’t just for show—it helps keep the drink icy cold, adding to its crisp, invigorating appeal.
