The Moscow Mule is a classic vodka-based cocktail that is popular for good reason: It’s delicious, refreshing and a snap to make. Just speaking the name of the drink conjures images of the ice-cold copper mug that is the de rigueur vessel for the Moscow Mule.
The simple cocktail combines vodka with ginger beer and lime. It’s a no-tools-required drink that is built right in the mug. Of course, while said mug is always preferred for serving, it’s not necessary and shouldn’t deter you from making a Moscow Mule. The drink tastes great no matter the receptacle, so if a highball glass or rocks glass is all you have on hand, don’t fret.
The Moscow Mule is a mid-century classic that was born in 1941 and helped contribute to vodka’s rise in America. As the legend goes, it was concocted by two men. John Martin needed to sell Smirnoff vodka, a new and generally unknown spirit at the time that his distribution company had recently purchased. Another man, bar owner Jack Morgan, needed to deplete the stash of ginger beer taking up space at his Cock ‘n’ Bull pub. They decided to combine the two ingredients with a little lime, and the rest is history. Well, minus the mug. No one’s quite sure where that came from, but there are reports of a third party at that meeting with a fortuitous supply of copper mugs. Regardless of how the drink was invented, the easygoing combination of vodka, spicy ginger and tart lime, all packaged neatly in an eye-catching mug, was a hit. More than a quarter century later, it’s still a hit.
This recipe brings the legendary drink up to date while remaining true to its refreshing roots. At its core, the Moscow Mule is deceptively simple and incredibly easy to mix, perfect for any season.

1、Stoli Vodka
Stolichnaya—or more popularly “Stoli”—is one of the mostpopular vodka brands on the market today. It’s a smooth, affordable Russian vodka that’s reliable.
Launched in 1938, this Russian vodka is distilled four times from wheat and rye. It is filtered through quartz sand and birch activated charcoal, and blended with artesian water before bottling at 40 percent alcohol by volume (ABV; 80 proof).
This bottle of Stolichnaya is a great example of what to expect from good Russian vodka and, for around $25 a bottle, it’s still affordable.
2、Russkaya Vodka
Made in Russia, Russkaya is a superb vodka distilled from wheat, rye and malted barley. It is made with naturally spring-softened water, and even undergoes filtration through both quartz and birch coal. This is an extraordinarily rich, bread-like vodka.
3、Earthen Roots Crisp Ginger Beer
This is one of two handcrafted, artisanal mixers that are the brainchild of Lewis and Tina, who together have created Earthen Roots. Their mission is to create quality mixers for highballs and cocktails that veer away from the typical high sugar and artificial flavourings with ingredients being natural and hand-selected to bring out the very best in the finished product.
4、Earthen Roots Spicy Ginger Beer
This ginger beer builds on the very best examples of traditions – combining an old family recipe from Lewis’ grandmother, combined with influences from the Indonesian Wedang Jahe style of ginger tea, brought together with 2 distinct types of ginger and a secret method to really enhance the real spicy bite from the natural ginger.
5、Watson’s Lime Cordial
The taste is smooth and delicate, and the deliciousness is irresistible
