Moscow Mule Revisited

Monday cocktail hour! Because I’m already looking forward to Friday. And I bought this proper and cool copper mug during a visit to the most excellent Cocktail Kingdom show room in Manhattan. The first FCH Moscow Mule described it’s origins (it was a Smirnoff device to drive sales!). Also my recipe was imperfect. After countless Dark and Stormys in Key West, I recognized that the amount of lime juice is important to contrast the sweetness of the ginger beer. Below are the proportions I like best.   Moscow Mule 2 ounces vodka 1/2 ounce lime juice 4 ounces ginger beer (or to taste) wedge of lime for garnish Fill a copper mug with ice. Add vodka, lime juice and ginger beer. Garnish with lime.   Other links you may like: Other cocktails featuring vodka: Key Read On »
