Copper Mug: amzn.to/2RHfdJ9
This week I'm making the original Moscow Mule, a drink created by a marketing team with a desperate need to sell more Vodka in the 1940's. That doesn't mean it isn't a tasty drink! It's a fantastic drink! The Moscow Mule is a delightfully refreshing combination of vodka and spicy ginger beer and there are definitely times when nothing else will do. The copper mug has no real historical precedent other than more marketing but hey, it looks great! Giving this drink its very own unique serving vessel is a big part of what sets it apart and lead to it's enduring popularity so kudos to the inventors. In my version I elevate the drink by crafting my own ginger beer in the mug by combining homemade ginger syrup and seltzer, I've provided the links to those recipes above if you want to follow in my steps exactly but feel free to swap my syurp + seltzer combo in favor of a good ginger beer if you're so inclined. Without further rambling I proudly present The Only Moscow Mule You Need!
Moscow Mule
2 oz. or 60 ml. Vodka
1 oz. or 30 ml. Lime Juice
2 oz. or 60 ml. Ginger Syrup
~ 5 oz. or 150 ml. Seltzer
(OR skip the Ginger Syrup+Seltzer Combo in favor of a spicy
ginger beer like Reed's)
Build over cracked ice in a copper mug
Garnish with a lime wedge
Most of the tools and gear I use on the show can be found on my gear page at: bit.ly/H2DGear BUT, here's a couple of links that everyone is almost always asking me about:

Just one error: the Heublein didn't imported Smirnoff, they bought the whole brand (during WW1) - brand, patents, blue prints and all from the Smirnov family and started to produce it in the US. Obviously vodka is dirt cheap to produce but at this point, people rather liked brown spirit. This is why Smirnoff really pushed it with (creative) marketing - called it first "white whiskey", then (on a lower level) advertised the Moscow Mule and later on advertised the lighter character to the diet-prone American audience. Basically without Smirnoff, vodka wouldn't be as popular as it is today (it probably wouldn't even be an international spirit - as Smirnoff did all the leg work). Anyway - Smirnoff (with "ff") is an originally American company - and has been never imported (other than the soon appearing Stolichnaya and later on Absolut which were both imported vodkas).

The Moscow Mule, as Greg says, needs nothing added to be a masterpiece. However, now and then I'll put a spin mine by adding home made raspberry syrup. I call this variation the Raspberry Bastard. I'll serve this in a double rocks glass so the light pink coloring isn't lost behind a copper wall, giving it a different bar appeal

I once took a class in college called Beverages, Wine, and Spirits. The teacher was a history major in college, and half of the curriculum was the history of whatever we were tasting that week. We started off with beer, because that was the human race's first experience with fermented drinks, and we learned how the spirit, wine, soda, etc. is made, and the history behind it. One semester wasn't nearly enough, and I would love to listen to a podcast like that.

One of the great things about a Moscow Mule is you can replace the vodka with almost any spirit to make something different but also delicious. I've done it with whiskey, tequila, and rum. Basically ginger beer + lime is a great combo and will mix well with a lot of different alcohols.

When I worked at a bar we did a few different presentations of the Moscow Mule. Generally it was vodka, simple syrup, squeezed lime juice, and ginger beer. On occasion people would ask for a muddled lime, and others we would do a spicy Mule. So our vodka was either pepper infused or we did a bit of Tabasco in as well when stirring. Great history as well! Much more than what I was given by a distributor and history guy.

Greg, after many many mules over the years I started playing with the recipe and landed on this as my go-to which my wife has named the Churchill 180. Also not a challenging cocktail by any means, but the gin and St Gemain play way more of a supporting role than vodka does in a traditional mule. 2oz gin 4oz ginger beer 1/2oz lime juice 1/2oz St. Germain (or St Elder) 2 dashes grapefruit bitters.

Chemistry and and Ginger... my two favourite vices for completely unrelated reasons. As far as electrochemistry, there probably is an electrochemical reaction. It's just working to even out the different concentration gradients in the drink, and to turn some of those unsaturated carbon compounds into more aliphatic compounds. Copper is used both as a reductive and as an oxidative catalyst. Being cold, it's probably more oxidative within the drink. As for the ginger, I make my own ginger beer. It's probably about as alcoholic as ginger syrup, but i like the flavor. So it might be closer to a ginger bug than a ginger beer. Fresh ginger self ferments. You need a clean jar, distilled water, sugar, and time. I don't peel the ginger, but i do shred it to get the ginger essence nice and strong. I also don't use white sugar. I use pressed brown sugar shots that i get out of the "Mexican" isle at the local grocery store. It literally looks like a shot of hardened brown sugar. If i'm being fancy, I will do a secondary fermentation on the ginger beer, where i add the ginger beer to a fruit juice (typically Pineapple), but that's not really necessary. In this mix it might actually be distracting.

I'm an Australian, and Bundaberg ginger beer is what you have to go for when you're making a Mule here. Different Bundaberg company to the one that makes Bundaberg rum which, unlike the ginger beer, you should avoid!

Switch out the vodka for tequila and add a bit of mint and bam... mexican mule, the highlight of any cinco de mayo party. Also, I heard from the bartender to tought me this drink that the copper and ginger beer actually react in some way to change the flavor. I have never been able to experiment and prove this theory but if someone has the time and funds to test this then let me know.

Alex Wirtz switch out the vodka for bourbon and ~2 oz pineapple and bam- you have a Kentucky mule with pineapple juice. Not a proper drink, but was my favorite discovery last summer

This looks really good! I'll have to try this whenever I get to make my own ginger syrup:) You should try my way of making a moscow mule as well tho.. I think you're gonna love it: 4cl vodka of your choice 2cl lime juice 1cl simple syrup(if you want it a bit sweeter) 1 cubic centimeter of fresh, crushed ginger Shake everything with ice and strain over a glass(copper if you want.. lol) with ice Top with a strong and spice ginger beer. Then add 2 dashes of angostura bitter
