The Moscow Mule is probably one of my favorite cocktails. Not too sweet, nor too strong. Sweetness and tartness are on balance. Bold without being overcomplicated, an extremely memorable taste with just three core ingredients—lime juice, ginger, and vodka—which makes it easy for beginner mixologists. And, given this simplicity, it’s also easy for seasoned bartenders to iterate with additional flavors and ingredients.
Plus: chilled copper mugs. When else do you get to enjoy them?
