What is a Moscow Mule?

A Moscow Mule is a classic cocktail made with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. It dates back to the 1940s and gets its name from the use of vodka (associated with Russia) and ginger beer (with a kick like a mule). We created another variation, the Cranberry Moscow Mule, which is great for the fall season.
