The Moscow Mule is a true classic drink, and one of the most distinct in the industry due to the copper cup it is often served in. Born through the sales acumen of three close friends, John G. Martin, Jack Morgan, and Rudolph Kunett - who were struggling to sell their respective products: Smirnoff vodka, ginger beer, and copper mugs. In a stroke of genius, they decided to combine their efforts and create a new cocktail using all three ingredients. And thus, the Moscow Mule came to be.

The cocktail gained popularity in the Hollywood area, and quickly spread throughout the country. It was known for its refreshing taste and unique presentation in a copper mug, which became a staple of the drink. The Moscow Mule became an instant sensation and remains a beloved classic to this day.

The Moscow Mule's fame is well-deserved; it boasts a robust ginger kick and is undeniably refreshing. The classic recipe, consisting of a straightforward combination of vodka and ginger beer topped with a dash of lime, means the drink is well balanced and immediately refreshing on the palate. The ginger beer provides a subtle kick, counteracted by the clean, crisp undertone of vodka. Meanwhile, the sweetness of the ginger beer is rebutted by the sourness of the lime juice making for a delicious and zingy body of the drink.
