Moscow Mule, a refreshing cocktail, is made with vodka and ginger beer. It also contains lime juice, ice, and ginger beer. It is a popular drink in bars all over the world, but it can also be prepared at home with ease.
While the history of Moscow Mule has been fascinating and has seen many variations over the years, there are some elements that have remained constant to make this drink a classic. The origin of the mule is debated, but most experts believe it was invented in the 1940s in Los Angeles at the Cock 'n' Bull bar. Jack Morgan, bar owner, is believed to have had too much ginger beer and John G. Martin his friend, an executive at Heublein (a distributor of liquor) had purchased the rights.
Both of these men had trouble selling their products, so they came up with a way to use them. The Moscow Mule was born from the combination of Martin's vodka and Morgan's ginger ale.
Originally, the recipe was just a simple mix of vodka, ginger beer and lime juice, but it has since been adapted to include other ingredients and flavors. It's the perfect beverage for a sunny summer day.

It is important to maintain a balanced mule. A Moscow mule is refreshingly light and refreshing but not too sweet.
In general, it is best to limit your vodka consumption to 2oz and 1oz each of ginger beer. Also, avoid sugary liqueurs and syrups as these can alter the original flavor of your mule.
To create the best mule, shake the vodka, ginger beer and lime juice together in a cocktail shaker with ice. Then, pour it into your favorite mug and garnish with a sprig of mint or a slice of lime.

How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding the right ingredients. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it aged in oak barrels. Cognac is available at specialty liquor shops and online retailers like Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar that is dissolved in water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stirring for 5 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Allow to rest overnight. Strain the sugar crystals out of the cheesecloth and dispose them. You can store the liquid in your fridge for up 3 weeks in an airtight glass container.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. Add the simple syrup to the remainder of the shaker. Stir vigorously for 10 second, then strain into a chilled martini. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
