Why Is The Drink Called A Moscow Mule?
The drink called a Moscow Mule is a combination of vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. It got its name from the vodka, which is a traditional Russian spirit, and the copper mug it is typically served in, which is a nod to the popularity of copper in Russian culture. The term “mule” was added to the name, not only because of the kick of the ginger but also as a nod to the stubbornness of those who created and popularized the drink.
