Here’s a refreshing classic for you. The Moscow Mule combines the warmth of vodka with bright, zingy ginger beer and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. It’s lively, sparkling, and the perfect thirst-quencher on a hot summer’s day.

The Moscow Mule has its roots dating back to the 1940s when a savvy marketing team was looking to popularize vodka and ginger beer in the United States. The result was this iconic drink served up in a signature copper mug. The copper keeps the cocktail frosty cold and is said to enhance the spicy ginger and lime flavours.

While the origin story is clever marketing, the reasons for sipping this drink from those classic mugs are rooted in pure refreshment.

The recipe is so simple it’s hardly a recipe at all. The trick is using a traditional copper mug which keeps things frosty cold and gives an extra little kick of flavour. But if you don’t have any copper mugs to hand, a standard glass will work just fine. This vibrant vodka drink is guaranteed to hit the spot. Get ready to embrace bold ginger and lime notes with a cocktail that lets the pure, clean flavours truly shine.
