Cocktail Blog Wed, Apr 30, 25 | The Perfect Moscow Mule Ah, the quest for the perfect Moscow Mule! It's a delightful balance of spicy, zesty, and refreshing. Here's a breakdown of how to make a truly exceptional one: The Essential Ingredients: Vodka: This is your base spirit. Opt for a good quality, neutral vodka to let the other flavors shine. Some bartenders recommend brands like Tito's, Ketel One, or Grey Goose for their smooth profiles. Ginger Beer: This is the heart and soul of a Moscow Mule. Crucially, use ginger beer, not ginger ale. Ginger beer has a much more pronounced and spicier ginger flavor. The quality of your ginger beer will significantly impact the final taste. Look for brands that offer a good "bite." Some popular choices include: Fever-Tree: Known for its strong ginger flavor and natural ingredients. Q Mixers Ginger Beer: Another excellent option with a good spice level (Our personal favorite). Bundaberg: A widely available and well-regarded ginger beer. Fresh Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed is non-negotiable! Bottled lime juice lacks the bright, zesty flavor that makes a great Mule. Ice: Use good quality ice. Large cubes or spheres melt slower and won't dilute your drink as quickly. Tags:
