A Moscow Mule Cocktail served in a mug.

Moscow Mule

Print Recipe
An easy classic Vodka based cocktail, the Moscow Mule is essentially Vodka and Ginger Beer creating a cold and refreshing cocktail for Vodka lovers. Pack this with plenty of crushed ice, similar to a Mint Julep in this fashion, but, of course, with different flavours.
This cocktail is usually served in a copper mug, but if you don't have one on hand, a Rocks Glass or Ceramic Mug will do. Technically the proper mug ads to the taste of the drink, but, if you're making cocktails at home, you may not have everything on hand.
The Moscow Mule has lead to a variety of variations with an alternative base spirit, so feel free to expiriment.
