It's official, the Moscow Mule comeback has finally arrived at our humble abode. With refreshing ginger beer serving as the base, plus an added citrus zing from the lime juice, the Mule is the perfect drink to help us all endure a Pacific Northwest winter.
Not to mention, the Moscow Mule is essentially responsible for popularizing vodka in the United States. Can I get an amen?
Ingredients are as follows:
- vodka
- ginger beer (commonly you use Crabbie's, which also contains alcohol. However, you can also
use other brands, as well as non-alcoholic versions)
- limes
Superbly simple!
So here is how one puts together such an enticing concoction:
1. Fill your glass with ice. The Mule is best served in a tin-lined copper mug which helps keep the libations deliciously cool.
2. Add 2 oz of vodka, juice from half of a lime, and top off with the ginger beer.
3. Stir together and garnish with a lime wedge.
And if you're feeling adventurous, you can find some amazing variations on the classic Mule here.
And last, but most certainly not least, you can use Mule as the perfect excuse to acquire fabulous monogrammed copper mugs from Mark & Graham to add to your barware collection.
Happy sipping!
