Make The Moscow Mule 8 Different Ways With Barmalade®! 

Are you ready for a refreshing and zesty cocktail that’s perfect for any occasion? It’s March and we are mad for the Moscow Mule! This iconic drink has been a crowd-pleaser for decades, and for good reason. So, let’s dive into the history of the Moscow Mule and why it’s such a fantastic cocktail for any occasion. 

The History Of The Moscow Mule 

First off, let’s go back to 1941, when the Moscow Mule was born. Legend has it that the owner of the Cock ‘n’ Bull pub in Hollywood, John G. Martin, was struggling to sell his ginger beer. Meanwhile, the owner of the Smirnoff vodka brand, Rudolph Kunett, was having trouble breaking into the American market. They teamed up with a third man, Jack Morgan, who owned a copper factory, and the Moscow Mule was born. The trio mixed the ginger beer, vodka, and lime juice in a copper mug and the Moscow Mule was an instant hit!

The Iconic Moscow Mule 

So, what makes this iconic drink so special? For starters, it’s incredibly refreshing, with the spicy kick of ginger beer perfectly balancing the tartness of lime juice and the smoothness of vodka. Plus, it’s easy to make and customize to your liking. Want a sweeter version? Add some simple syrup. Want a fruity spin on the classic? Add one of Barmalade®’s delicious fruit mixers! Prefer it more tart? Squeeze in some extra lime juice. And don’t forget about the copper mug! Not only does it add a fun and unique touch to the drink, but it also keeps it nice and cold.

The Moscow Mule is a versatile cocktail that can be made the classic way, or there are lots of variations to play around with. If you’re looking to switch things up, there are plenty of modifications to try, like swapping out the vodka for tequila to make a Mexican Mule or adding some fresh mint for a Kentucky Mule. Whether you’re sipping it on a hot summer day or enjoying it by the fire in winter, it’s the perfect drink for any occasion.
