Moscow Mule - What's Old is New
Lately everywhere I go people are ordering a Moscow Mule. This drink has been around since the 1950's and, until recently, no one ever ordered it. My guess is that most people haven't heard of ginger beer, let alone crave it.
Although I am a fan of ginger ale, I've never developed a taste for beer. My exception to this rule is that it must be at least 110 degrees outside, there needs to be an even hotter guy offering it to me AND there must be no other options.
The secret of a perfect Moscow Mule is that you must drink it from a copper mug. If you drink it from a plastic (red solo?) cup or even from a glass something gets lost in the flavor.
1 1/2 oz vodka
1 oz ginger beer
1 oz lime juice or the juice of a 1/2 lime - freshly squeezed juice is always better
Pour your lime juice into the bottom of the copper mug.
Add a few cubes of ice
Using a high quality vodka, pour it over the juice
Pour in the ginger beer
Garnish with a lime slice or wedge
Enjoy in the summer or winter, with friends or alone but always drink responsibly and remember to tip your bartender and server.
Cheers,
Jayne
