A Moscow Mule recipe in 5 easy steps

Moscow Mule with its signature copper mug has an interesting story. In 1939, the owner of The Cock ‘N’ Bull bar in Hollywood, Jack Morgan and the owner of Smirnoff, John Martin, collaborated to promote the bar’s house ginger beer and Smirnoff vodka. The result was the Moscow mule. Served in copper mugs, this cocktail has been successful in keeping alive both the brands after so many years.

There is also a story behind how the Moscow mule came to be served in copper mugs. A Russian immigrant, Sophie Berezinski, had made the original copper mugs in her father’s workshop back in Russia.
