There’s nothing quite like a Moscow Mule Recipe on a hot summer day, and this refreshing drink is perfect for anyone who loves a good cocktail.

Moscow Mules are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can use any vodka or rum, and you can add any fruit or flavor you like. The most important part of making a Moscow Mule is selecting the right ginger beer.

What exactly is a Moscow mule?

A Moscow mule is a traditional beverage made with vodka and ginger beer that dates back to the 1940s. It’s actually a cocktail in the buck family: a cocktail mixed with vodka, ginger ale or ginger beer, and citrus juice.

So it’s also known as a vodka buck! This traditional cocktail is one of the International Bartender Association’s approved cocktails. A Moscow mule is officially defined as:

• Vodka
• Ginger Beer
• Juice of lime

How do you make a mule?

Because the carbonation in the ginger beer is so important in a Moscow mule, it is not shaken in a cocktail shaker. To keep the carbonation intact, it’s simply blended in the cup and poured over ice. There’s no need for a cocktail shaker! This makes it one of the simplest cocktail recipes available. Here’s what you should do:

Garnish with lime and ice cubes. It’s that easy!
