Mule Instructions

The Mule cocktail is a classic mixed drink that has been enjoyed for decades. It is a refreshing and tangy cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. The Mule gets its name from the copper mugs that it is traditionally served in. These mugs not only keep the drink cold, but they also add a unique and stylish touch to the presentation. To make a Mule cocktail, you will need a few simple ingredients. Start by squeezing the juice of a lime into the bottom of a copper mug. Then, add a few ice cubes and pour in a shot of vodka. Top it off with some ginger beer and garnish with a lime wedge. The combination of lime juice, vodka, and ginger beer creates a delicious and balanced flavor. The lime adds a sharp tanginess, while the vodka provides a smooth and mellow base. The ginger beer adds a spicy kick and a little bit of fizz. The Mule is a versatile cocktail that can be enjoyed year-round. It is a great choice for a summer BBQ or a winter holiday party. The refreshing and tangy flavors make it a crowd-pleaser, and the copper mugs add a fun and festive touch. So the next time you're in the mood for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the Mule a try. You won't be disappointed!


Best served in a Old-Fashioned Glass.

The Mule cocktail is a popular mixed drink that has gained widespread popularity in recent years. This refreshing and zesty beverage is typically served in a copper mug and features a combination of vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. The origins of the Mule cocktail can be traced back to the 1940s when it was first created.

The history of the Mule cocktail dates back to Los Angeles in the 1940s, where it was originally known as the "Moscow Mule." The story goes that three individuals - John Martin (a spirits distributor), Jack Morgan (owner of Cock 'n' Bull pub), and Rudolph Kunett (owner of Smirnoff vodka) - came together with their respective products to create this iconic drink.

Legend has it that the trio wanted to boost sales for their struggling businesses, so they combined Smirnoff vodka with Cock 'n' Bull ginger beer and added a splash of lime juice. They served this concoction in distinctive copper mugs engraved with images of kicking mules, hence giving birth to the Moscow Mule.

The Moscow Mule quickly became a hit among Hollywood celebrities and socialites due to its unique presentation and refreshing taste. It soon spread across America like wildfire, becoming one of the most popular cocktails during its time.

Today, variations on the classic Moscow Mule have emerged, such as replacing vodka with other spirits like bourbon or tequila. However, purists still prefer sticking to the original recipe for an authentic experience.

In conclusion, the Mule cocktail's rich history adds an extra layer of charm to this beloved drink. Whether you're sipping on a traditional Moscow Mule or trying out new twists on this classic recipe, one thing is certain - nothing beats enjoying a cold and tangy glass of this iconic beverage on a hot summer day!
