This is a basic Moscow Mule recipe which is made with vodka, but there are so many variations using different flavors and different alcohols but the ginger beer is the key that makes it a mule.  These are traditionally served in a copper mug since copper elevates this drink and keeps it colder. But, if you are anything like me, it won’t last long so if you don’t have a copper mug, by all means use what you have!

Moscow Mule:

2 oz. Vodka (use good quality)
.5 oz. Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
2 Sprigs of Mint
5 oz. Ginger Beer

In a copper mug put 1 mint sprig (the sprig should have at least 5 or more leaves on it) and muddle it in the cup.  Add ice and then add vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer. Stir and then garnish with the other mint sprig and a lime wheel.  Cheers!
