MOSCOW Mules are delightfully fizzy
drinks made with fiery ginger beer, vodka
and fresh lime.

Moscow mules are refreshing on
hot summer days, sure, but they’re also
holiday-appropriate thanks to the strong
ginger flavour. They strike that elusive
balance between spicy, sweet and strong.
Moscow mules are super easy to make.

You’ll need just three basic ingredients:
Vodka
Ginger beer
Fresh lime

The ginger beer component makes the
biggest difference between a so-so and
fantastic Moscow mule, so choose wisely!
Instructions:

Fill a tumbler with plenty of ice. Pour
in one shot of vodka and squeeze the juice
out of half a lime.

Fill the glass with ginger beer and
gently swirl it with a spoon once to mix.
Garnish with a lime wedge and some
mint for an extra touch, and enjoy!

Of course, enjoy responsibility.
