Creative Twists on the Classic Moscow Mule
The Moscow mule might not be as widely recognized as margaritas or mojitos, but it’s a versatile cocktail that’s easy to make with just a few ingredients: vodka, ginger beer, and lime. It’s suitable for any season, offering a refreshing kick in summer with citrus and coolness, or warming you in winter with spicy ginger and vodka. Here are five variations, including the traditional recipe and four exciting alterations to put your own spin on this simple yet delightful drink.
- Traditional Moscow Mule: Squeeze half a lime into a shaker, add one ounce of vodka and four to six ounces of ginger beer. Shake well for about 15 seconds. Serve it in a copper mug garnished with a lime wedge on the rim.
- Ginger Gin Mule: Popular in the UK, this variation replaces vodka with gin, blending it with ginger beer. Prepare similarly to the classic recipe for a new flavor experience.
