Classic Moscow Mule Cocktail Recipe
Crisp, zingy and impossibly refreshing, the classic Moscow Mule is one of those timeless drinks that never feels dated - and it’s easy to see why. This simple serve blends vodka, fiery ginger beer and fresh lime juice for a flavour that’s bright, spicy and perfectly balanced, with a kick that keeps every sip lively. Traditionally poured into a chilled copper mug, the drink stays icy cold, making it ideal for sunny afternoons, weekend gatherings or anytime you want a bold but easy-going serve.
