The Moscow Mule is a favorite for a reason because it is so easy to put together. You do not need any special equipment to make this drink, and it only requires four basic ingredients that come together in minutes.

Most people love this drink for its perfect balance of tangy lime and spicy ginger. It is a fantastic option for warm evenings, and serving it in a chilled copper mug keeps the drink frosty and refreshing until the very last sip.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces vodka
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 ounces ginger beer
  • 2 ounces sparkling water or club soda
  • Ice
  • Lime wedge and fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Fill a copper mug or a tall glass with ice.

  2. 2

    Pour the vodka and the fresh lime juice over the ice.

  3. 3

    Add the ginger beer and the sparkling water.

  4. 4

    Stir the drink gently with a long spoon to combine the flavors without losing the bubbles.

  5. 5

    Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and a sprig of mint before serving.

💡 Tips

To keep your drink extra cold, chill your mugs or glasses in the freezer before you start mixing. Always use fresh lime juice for the best flavor, and make sure to stir your cocktail very gently to keep that nice bubbly carbonation.
