Is a Moscow Mule?

A Moscow mule is a cocktail made with vodka, spicy ginger beer, and lime juice, garnished with a slice or wedge of lime. It is a type of buck; therefore, sometimes called a vodka buck. The Moscow mule is popularly served in a copper mug, which takes on the cold temperature of the liquid.

Why do they call it a Moscow Mule?

The name was eventually decided as Moscow Mule, which is said to be a random pick. Apparently Moscow was used because of Americans' tendency to associate vodka with Russia and Mule was added to the name because the ginger beer gave a 'kick' of flavour.

Is Moscow Mule a girly drink?

IS A MOSCOW MULE A GIRLY DRINK OR A MANLY DRINK? This is one of the things I love most about this drink: anyone can enjoy it! It's often served in a masculine metal mug, and it's got a sharp bite to it, so it's perfect for guys. But it's also fizzy and a little sweet, so women really enjoy it too!
