Pro Tips

📜 History

Created in 1941 at the Cock 'n' Bull pub in Los Angeles, the Moscow Mule was invented to sell both Smirnoff vodka (then struggling in America) and ginger beer. The iconic copper mug was added for marketing and became legendary.

🥤 The Copper Mug

The copper mug isn't just aesthetics – it conducts cold exceptionally well, keeping your drink icy and creating a frosty exterior. It also enhances the aromatics of the ginger and lime.

🫚 Ginger Beer Selection

Use real ginger beer, not ginger ale. Fever-Tree, Q Mixers, and Bundaberg offer great spice. The spicier the ginger beer, the more kick in your Mule.
