    The Moscow Mule - Recipe Diaries

    A Moscow mule is made of freshly squeezed lime juice, vodka, and ginger beer and is usually served in a copper mug. This cocktail's origin has nothing to do with Moscow or mules, but after a few sips no one will care!

    There are many different variations of this cocktail including the Kentucky mule, Jamaican mule, Aussie Mule, etc... If you want to read more about the history of this drink definitely head on over to Wikipedia. It has an interesting back story.

    I blame my brother for getting me addicted to this drink. The last 3 times I've been over to his place, he's always asked me if I wanted a drink and he will give me a Moscow Mule.  A Moscow Mule is served in a copper glass and it has ginger beer, vodka, and lime. The glass is what makes it fancy. Since it's copper, the glasses are kind of expensive. They run about 20.00 a piece at Pier 1 Imports. I think they're worth it though. You could always serve the drink in another type of glass but it just wouldn't be the same.

    To make this drink WW friendly look for Ginger Beer that says diet on them. Some brands that are zero are Gosling's Diet Ginger Beer. Can be found at Wal-Mart. If you can't find Diet Ginger Beer use Ginger Ale. 3 oz of that is 2 smart points.

    What Ingredients do I need? 

    In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

    Vodka   -  You can use whatever flavor of vodka you like here. I think vanilla vodka, plain vodka, or whipped vodka would be good

    Ginger Beer  - diet or regular 

    Limes -  you will need the juice and some of the limes for wedges

    Equipment Needed

      I love a good Moscow Mule, and you're right. The cup makes the drink. The ginger beer doesn't hurt either. Or the vodka. 😉

      Have a great weekend.
