Unraveling the Moscow Mule

To make a classic Moscow Mule cocktail, you will need the following ingredients and equipment:

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces (60 ml) of vodka
• 4 to 6 ounces (120 to 180 ml) of ginger beer
• 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of freshly squeezed lime juice
• Ice cubes
• Lime wedge, for garnish
• Optional: Mint sprig, for garnish

Equipment:

• Copper mug (traditional) or highball glass
• Cocktail jigger or measuring tool
• Bar spoon or stir stick

Here's the step-by-step process to make a Moscow Mule:

1. Fill your copper mug or highball glass with ice cubes to chill it.
2. Measure and pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of vodka into the chilled mug or glass.
3. Squeeze  half an ounce (15 ml) of fresh lime juice into the mug or glass. Adjust  the amount of lime juice to your taste preference.
4. Fill  the rest of the mug or glass with ginger beer, typically about 4 to 6  ounces (120 to 180 ml). The exact amount can be adjusted based on  personal preference and the size of the glass.
5. Stir  gently with a bar spoon or stir stick to mix the ingredients together.  Avoid vigorous stirring to maintain the carbonation of the ginger beer.
6. Garnish  your Moscow Mule with a lime wedge. Squeeze the wedge slightly to  release some juice into the drink, and place it on the rim of the mug or  drop it into the glass.
7. For an extra touch, you can add a mint sprig as a garnish for added freshness and aroma.
8. Your Moscow Mule is now ready to be enjoyed! Sip and savor the refreshing combination of vodka, ginger beer, and lime.

Note:  Copper mugs are traditionally used for Moscow Mules, as they help keep  the drink colder for longer. However, if you don't have a copper mug, a  highball glass or any other suitable glassware will work just fine.
