Recipe: Classic Moscow mule cocktail
This Vodka-based cocktail packs a tasty punch!
Moscow Mule is that lovely cocktail associated with a stout little copper mug! The combination of vodka with ginger beer is sort of perfect, but it’s enhanced by the copper in brilliant ways. What’s more, the copper actually helps keep the drink cold! It’s a pretty well thought-through invention. Bet you didn’t expect that!Â
Make sure your mug is topped with ice while pouring the alcohol and ginger beer in. Always use fresh mint, it brings out the flavour of the beer and vodka beautifully! Most of all, savour this Moscow Mule to the last sip to make the most of it!
