Notes
Expert Tips
The best vodka for a Moscow Mule is a mid-priced vodka. There is no need to purchase an expensive brand because a Moscow Mule's ginger beer and lime flavors are robust and can overpower an excellent vodka.
The best ginger beer for a Moscow Mule is one that is made with real ginger, and without artificial sweeteners or flavors. My favorite brand of ginger beer is Fever-Tree.
Fresh lime juice is preferred and it does make a difference in this recipe. Simply squeeze the juice from half a lime (or to taste)
