FAQ

Why do Moscow mules have to be in a copper cup?

Copper mugs were perfect for the beverage because Copper conducts temperature and takes on the mule’s temperature when it’s poured into the glass. This keeps the mule cold and frosty while enhancing the vodka flavor and natural properties of the drink.

What alcohol is in a Moscow Mule?

Unlike wintry eggnog or a refreshing summer Paloma, the Moscow Mule isn’t designed for just one season. The combination of vodka, spicy ginger beer, and lime is ideal for year-round drinking. Like its cousin the Dark and Stormy, it’s a “buck,” a drink made with alcohol, citrus, and ginger beer or ginger ale.

What is a Moscow Mule usually made of?

This classic Moscow mule recipe uses vodka, ginger beer, ice, and lime to create a refreshing cocktail that has nothing to do with Moscow or mules, but after a few sips of this vodka-based concoction, no one will care!

What’s the difference between Russian mule and Moscow Mule?

For starters, a Moscow mule is typically made with vodka, while a Russian mule is usually made with gin. This gives the Moscow mule a slightly sweeter flavor, while the gin in a Russian mule lends it a more botanical taste. Another difference is in the garnish.
