There isn’t anything quite as refreshing as a Moscow Mule. The great news is that they are just three ingredients and so easy to make at home.
Copper Mugs
Though the mule certainly doesn’t have to be in a copper mug, it is the most popular to enjoy the beverage. The reason it continues to be served that way is tradition and the way the copper helps to keep the drink nice and cold.
Combine vodka and lime juice. Add them to your copper mug with lots of ice. Top with ginger beer. Stir to combine and garnish with lime wedges and fresh mint.
Serving
Serve your Moscow Mules with lots of ice and a lime wedge in a copper mug or glass tumbler. I like to add some fresh mint for a pretty garnish, but this is not necessary for a good cocktail. For a budget-friendly vodka, I recommend Tito’s. Some of the best quality vodkas for the price are Grey Goose and Belvedere. Another really great option is Costco’s Kirkland brand. It is inexpensive but very smooth. If you can’t find ginger beer or if you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, that isn’t quite as strong, you can replace the ginger beer with ginger ale. It won’t be the original Moscow Mule, but it will be delicious.
Adjusting Your Mule
If you want a sweeter mule, add a splash of simple syrup. I like to serve my mules with lots of lime wedges for some extra citrus. You can also add a sprig of mint leaves.
