- mint optional, lime slices and fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Fill two copper mugs with ice.

- Pour 2 oz. of vodka into each glass and top off with ginger beer.
- Gently stir and garnish with fresh lime slices and mint.
Notes
- VARIATIONS
- The recipe I’m sharing is for a classic Moscow Mule, but there are endless ways to switch it up.
- You can even switch out the vodka and mix the ginger beer and lime with these alcohols to make a whole new drink:
- Because this drink has so few ingredients you definitely want to buy the best vodka your budget will allow. Using a higher-quality vodka will make the best Moscow Mule.
- Originally, the drink was served in copper mugs because it was believed it kept the drink colder than other types of glasses. There’s some debate about this and, if I’m being honest, it’s just fun to serve them in the mugs! I recommend buying mugs that have a nickel liner inside – most that you’ll find are made this way because there’s also some debate about the safety of serving a drink in copper. So, you don’t have to use the mugs – you can use regular cocktail glasses instead.
- You can use flavored vodkas to give it a different flavor twist
- Some versions add different fruit juices like cranberry, orange, raspberry, blueberry… really, any fruit juice you like!
- You can also just add fresh fruit and muddle it in the mug before mixing the drink.
- Mexican Mule with tequila
- Dark and Stormy with dark rum
- Kentucky Mule with bourbon
