Moscow Mule Feature Photo
Enjoy the classic Moscow Mule, a refreshing cocktail with a spicy kick from ginger beer, zesty lime juice, and smooth vodka. Easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion, it's served in a traditional copper mug for added chill and style.

Equipment

  • 16 Ounce Copper Mug
  • Jigger
  • Cocktail Stirrer

Ingredients

  • 6 Ounces Ginger Beer
  • 2 Ounces Vodka
  • 1 Ounce Lime Juice
  • Ice
  • Lime Slices optional
  • Mint Sprigs optional

Instructions

  • Fill your cup with ice.
  • Pour the lime juice over the ice.
  • Follow lime juice with the vodka.
  • Top off the rest of the glass with ginger beer.
  • Give a slight stir if desired.
  • Garnish with a lime slice and mint sprig, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

Real lime juice is definitely the way to go.
Juicing your own limes is the best choice, but not all of us have time to do that, so getting pure lime juice is a great choice.
Pouring the ingredients in the order given in the directions allows it to self-mix.
However, sometimes I like to give it a little stir so the ice chills it a bit quicker.
Everyone has a different preference.
It’s best to drink this immediately.
If not, the ice will melt and completely water it down.
So, this isn’t a great recipe for a make ahead option.
