The Moscow Mule

The Moscow Mule

The Moscow Mule was created in the 1940s in the United States, not Russia, despite its name. It is credited to John G. Martin, who owned the Smirnoff vodka brand, and Jack Morgan, the owner of a ginger beer company. They combined vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice to create a new drink that would appeal to American drinkers. The cocktail quickly gained popularity and is now a staple at bars worldwide, often served in its iconic copper mug which is used to keep the drink chilled longer, enhance its flavor, add visual appeal, and maintain tradition from the cocktail’s creation in the 1940s.

How to Make a Moscow Mule:

  • 60 ml vodka
  • 120 ml ginger beer
  • 15 ml lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Ice
  • Lime wedge and mint for garnish (optional)
  • 2 dashes of Angostura bitters (optional)
