Moscow Mule

[cort]

I'm sure some of you guys have heard of this cocktail but it is new to me. My cousins were up in Santa Barbara a few weeks back and said a brewery up there was serving these up like crazy. Fast forward to yesterday we stopped at BevMo after work to get some ingredients and they had a whole display dedicated to this drink. Where the F did this sh!t come from? After some research I found it to be a cocktail started back in the 1940's sometime but has recently made a huge comeback.

Vodka
Lime Juice
Ginger Beer

Traditionally served in a copper mug. I thought Ginger beer was going to have alcohol in it but it doesn't it's more like a root beer. Anyways, they were damn good I would recommend looking in to them if you like that kind of stuff.

I love this drink and one of its variations that uses rum instead and adds simple sugar.

For another great variation, try the one that uses Gin instead of Vodka.

Dark 'n' Stormy. One of my favorites.

I am going to try the variation that uses Tequila, and complicated sugar.

Complicated sugar? Sounds like code for ex-wife

I'm cheap so I just buy Canada Dry or Seagram's. Also readily available.

There is a local brewery that makes an alcoholic ginger beer and I like to make Moscow Mules with it. It has a great taste and makes the drink a little less sweet compared to the non-alcoholic ginger beers.
