This Moscow Mule recipe mixes fresh lime, vodka, and spicy ginger beer for a crisp, refreshing cocktail. It’s perfect for entertaining with no special equipment needed!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice

  • For the garnish: lime wheel or wedge, fresh mint (if desired)

Instructions

  1. Pour the vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer into a copper mug. 
  2. Add ice and garnish with a lime slice. Serve immediately.

Notes

Vodka: Use a mid-range vodka like Tito’s or Smirnoff. Avoid very cheap vodka. Premium brands aren’t necessary for this drink.

Ginger Beer: Look for brands made with real ginger like Fever-Tree or Q. Avoid ginger beer with artificial sweeteners. 

Fresh vs. Bottled Lime: Always use freshly squeezed lime juice.

Measurements: 1 ounce equals 2 tablespoons if you don’t have a jigger.
