Moscow Mule History
The Moscow Mule was born in 1941 at the Cock 'n' Bull bar in Los Angeles. It began as a solution to three people's inventory problems.
John G. Martin had US distribution rights for Smirnoff vodka but couldn't sell it, Jack Morgan was struggling with his ginger beer inventory. Sophie Berezinski, selling copper mugs, joined them to create a cocktail combining all three.
The copper mug keeps the drink colder and provides a unique drinking experience. The Moscow Mule is a historic cocktail that popularized vodka in America.
