Let's Get Mixing: Your Step-by-Step Moscow Mule Recipe
Ready to enjoy this classic? Follow these simple steps!
Step 1: Chill Your Copper Mug
If you have a copper mug, place it in the freezer for a few minutes before you start. A chilled mug will keep your drink colder and more refreshing. If using a regular glass, fill it with ice.
Step 2: Add Vodka and Lime
Into your chilled copper mug (or glass) filled with ice, pour 2 oz (60ml) of vodka. Then add 0.5 oz (15ml) of freshly squeezed lime juice.
Step 3: Top with Ginger Beer
Fill the rest of the mug with 4-6 oz (120-180ml) of your chosen ginger beer. Adjust the amount to your taste preference for ginger spice and dilution.
