Moscow Mule Cocktail

Recipe Description

I love to sit down on a summer Friday evening with a refreshing Moscow Mule Cocktail in a copper cup. Moscow mules are traditionally served in a hammered copper mug, which keeps the drink cool no matter how hot it is outside. Don’t worry if you don’t have special cups though, a glass will work too – you just might have to drink it faster!

To make this classic cocktail, start by pouring vodka and lime juice into a mug or glass. Add ice cubes and ginger beer and stir to combine. Drop a lime wedge into the drink before serving to garnish. Cheers!

To make Moscow Mule Cocktail, you will need the following ingredients:

Hice un Moscow Mule el fin de semana pasado y fui sorprendendo de lo facil que es. La mezcla de vodka y jengibre es refrescante y perfecta para el verano. Siempre lo asocio con mis amigos en la playa, así que esto me trajo buenos recuerdos. Definitivamente será mi bebida favorita este verano.

This Moscow Mule is simply great for summer weekends. I remember making it for my husband and I on our anniversary. The ginger beer really brings it to life. The copper cup looks so nice too.
