Apple Cider Drinks

They say what’s old is new again and that’s holds true for this vodka cocktail! 

Originating at the Cock “N Bull located on Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California, the Moscow Mule was created back in the 1940’s from an over-stocked inventory of it’s house brand of ginger beer, vodka that wasn’t selling and served them in a surplus of copper mugs that filled the basement.

I make commissions for purchases made through links in this post.

The Mule has found a new surge in popularity and almost eighty years later has become a trendy cocktail to both order and serve making those copper mugs are all the rage right now.

Moscow Mule FAQ’s

What is a Moscow Mule?

The Moscow Mule, also known as a Vodka Buck, is a cocktail typically made with vodka, spicy ginger beer, and lime juice, garnished with a slice or wedge of lime.

Are ginger beer and ginger ale the same thing?

Ginger ale is a carbonated beverage made with water and ginger. Ginger beer is brewed and fermented and is less carbonated than ginger ale. Ginger beer has a much more ginger flavor than ginger ale.
