Anybody ever had this drink? I had one for the first time. Damn, it was good. A cup of vodka with ginger beer for flavor.
I begin to bray, I’m so cool!
Look at me now, I’m the Moscow Mule!
An awesome summer cocktail. I like mine with lots of ice and a slice of lime.
I am partial to the version of the Moscow Mule found in my handy little Collins Gem book.
3 parts vodka
1 part lime juice (however, I agree with astro that too much lime can be a tad sour and halve the amount. YMMV.)
3 dashes Angostura Bitters (makes all the difference IMO)
Ginger beer (equal measure to vodka or more - dependent on the refreshment:intoxication ratio you are after)
Slice of lime to garnish
Plenty of ice
Substituting the vodka makes an interesting alternative, and if you really can’t find ginger beer you can get away with ginger ale at a pinch. I can feel John Martin spinning in his grave…
Substituting the vodka for gin that should have said. Can you tell I tend more towards intoxicating than refreshing?
