We’ve always been passionate about making the perfect moscow mule. This cocktail is the perfect balance of spicy, tart, and sweet all rolled into one refreshing beverage! The moscow mule is often served in a copper mug to keep the drink ice cold and transmit that cool sensation directly to your lips. If you've ever sipped on a mule, you will know the sensation and may even find it hard to put into words (other than amazing)!

Because the ingredients in this cocktail are acidic, it's important to always use a moscow mule mug with steel-lining in order to prevent copper from leaching into your delicious drink.

The moscow mule is a relatively simple cocktail and requires only a few ingredients:

Vodka

Choose your favorite brand of vodka for this recipe and don't be afraid to use the good stuff! The smoother the vodka, the smoother the cocktail.

Ginger Beer

Ginger beer gives this cocktail its signature flavor and a kick that helped inspire its name. If you haven't had ginger beer before, it is spicy, sweet and highly addictive. You can find ginger beer in most grocery stores; three popular brands include Reed's Extra Ginger Beer, Bundaberg Ginger Beer, and Fentimans Ginger Beer. Our favorite ginger beer is homemade ginger beer if you have the time!

Fresh Lime Juice

Don't think about using anything other than fresh lime juice in this recipe. The bottled stuff just doesn't compare. Grab a few limes because you're going to have a hard time stopping at one moscow mule - trust us. Slice the limes into wedges to squeeze the juice into the drink or get extra fancy and juice the limes with a citrus press or reamer.

Ice

This drink is best enjoyed cold. Crushed or cubed, any ice will do! Fill your copper mug with ice and we promise your cocktail will stay cold until your last sip.
