How to make a Moscow Mule

There is nothing better than a classic Moscow Mule Recipe! The perfect combination of Vodka, Lime, and Ginger Beer.

Classic Moscow Mule

Do you ever feel like the world is telling you that you need to try something?

That is how I feel about this recipe on how to make a Moscow Mule.

This summer every time I turned around I feel like someone was telling me that I needed to learn how to make a classic Moscow Mule. Our friend Amanda from Where’s Amanda was raving about Moscow Mules while we were on the Carnival Freedom together.

Another friend came over a few weeks ago and told me they are her favorite drink this summer. So what is a girl to do but dive into making Moscow Mules.

I went all-in when I decided to start creating a Moscow Mule. I bought the proper Moscow Mule Copper Mug off of Amazon and got all of the ingredients ready.

Can I admit I went into making this Moscow Mule with a lot of excitement and trepidation at the same time.

What happens if we don’t like it after everyone has told us it is the most amazing drink on the planet….will we be weird Moscow Mule outcasts…..

I hope you know I am totally kidding, well sort of kidding but here’s the thing. I didn’t have to worry because we really liked the Moscow Mules.

They really are a great refreshing drink on a hot summer day.
