One of my favorite cocktails of all time is a good ol’ Moscow Mule. It’s a total classic! They are super simple to make, yet taste like a craft cocktail that a mixologist labored over forever!
Besides the absolutely delicious taste, my favorite part of a Moscow Mule is that it only requires a couple ingredients that are easy to keep on hand, so you can quickly mix one up for a last minute guest. It is always fun to offer something a little bit more special than a bottle of beer or glass of wine, and this is the perfect beverage to have ready in your back pocket.
And of course, no Moscow Mule is complete without the signature copper mug! The cold mug brings a sense of formality and authenticity to the cocktail that I swear makes it taste like 10 times better! I have been eyeing these mugs for a year now, and my boyfriend’s mother just got me a beautiful set of hammered copper mugs for Christmas, and I am OBSESSED! (Thank you again!! 🙂 ) Literally obsessed! Now that I own these little gems, you can bet we will be making Moscow Mules at our house regularly!
There are a variety of different mules you can make, but for the new mixologist, you can never go wrong with a Classic Moscow Mule. Check out our quick and easy recipe below!
- 2oz Vodka

Cheers!
