Notes
What is a Moscow Mule?Created in America in the 1940's, a Moscow Mule standardly consists of vodka, ginger beer and lime juice. Pumpkin vodka shines through as the star in this drink, along with a supporting cast of pumpkin puree and seasonal spices. This is a drink that is easy to make and even easier to savor.A Moscow Mule is typically served in a copper mug. The copper keeps your cocktail colder for a longer period of time, enhancing the flavor of the vodka. I always put my copper mugs in the freezer the day before I use them so they stay as cold as possible.
