How to Make a Moscow Mule

The Moscow Mule is a classic cocktail with a history as fiery as the ginger beer it's made with. If your palate is craving a cocktail with a refreshing and slightly spicy kick, and a tart, citrusy flavour – this is the beverage for you. It was invented in the 1940s in Hollywood, California by a bartender who was looking for a way to get rid of his excess vodka, and a vodka distributor who was trying to promote his brand. Together, they mixed the vodka with some ginger beer and lime juice, and served it over ice in a copper mug to give it that extra kick. And thus, the Moscow Mule was born.
