How to Make a Moscow Mule at Home

By Trey Gordon 4 August, 2023 2 mins read

Moscow Mule, a refreshing cocktail, is made with vodka and ginger beer. It also contains lime juice, ice, and ginger beer. The Moscow Mule is a favorite drink at bars all over the globe. However, it can be made at home easily.

Although the history of Moscow Mule is fascinating, there are certain elements that make it a classic drink. While the origin of the Moscow Mule is still uncertain, experts believe it was created in Los Angeles' Cock 'n Bull bar in the 1940s. Jack Morgan, owner of the bar, believed to have had too many ginger beer bottles in his cellar. John G. Martin (executive at Heublein, which distributes liquor), had also purchased the rights of Smirnoff vodka.

These men were having trouble selling their products so they devised a way to use them. The Moscow Mule was born of Martin's vodka being combined with Morgan’s ginger beers.

The original recipe only contained vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. It has since been expanded to include additional ingredients and flavors. This is the perfect summer drink.

Making a mule is all about balance. A Moscow mule should taste light, refreshing, and not too sweet.

You should limit the amount of vodka and ginger beer you add to your drink to no more than 2oz. Syrups and sugary drinks such as liqueurs, should be avoided. They can mask the true flavor of the mule.

For the best mule mix the vodka with ginger beer and lime juice in the shaker. You can then pour the mixture into a mug of your choice and garnish it with a piece of lime or mint.
