Moscow Mule
An American cocktail made with vodka, spicy ginger beer, and lime juice, garnished with a slice or wedge of lime. The cocktail is traditionally served in a copper mug, which helps keep the drink cold.

Ingredients
Scale
- 60 ml Vodka
- 120 ml Ginger Beer
- 15 ml Fresh Lime Juice
- Ice Cubes
- Lime Wheel For Garnish
Instructions
- Place a copper mug in the freezer for a few minutes or fill with ice water to pre-chill — this keeps the cocktail icy cold longer.
- Fill the chilled mug completely with fresh ice cubes, then pour in vodka and freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Top with chilled ginger beer, pouring slowly to preserve carbonation.
- Stir gently for 10–15 seconds to combine the citrus and spice without losing bubbles. Taste once — add a splash more lime juice if you prefer it tangier.
- Garnish beautifully (optional): Add a lime wheel or wedge along the rim. For extra freshness, slap a mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and place it on top.
- Enjoy your Moscow Mule ice-cold in its copper mug — crisp, gingery, and full of refreshing bite.
- Optional twist: Substitute spiced ginger ale for a milder version, or infuse your vodka with cucumber or basil for a summer spin.
