11.0% BUILD HIGHBALL 200ml

The Moscow Mule was born in 1941 in Los Angeles, USA. It is also a product of clever marketing, created through a collaboration between a Smirnoff vodka salesman, a ginger beer producer, and a copper mug manufacturer.

Made with simple ingredients - vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice - the perfect harmony of each component has made it a beloved cocktail worldwide. With approximately 11% ABV, it's approachable and easy to enjoy.

The trademark of this cocktail is the copper mug. Copper has high thermal conductivity, keeping the drink cold, and the cool sensation when held in hand makes the drinking experience even more special.

The spicy ginger flavor of ginger beer, the clean taste of vodka, and the fresh citrus notes of lime create perfect balance. It's ideal for quenching thirst on summer days and pairs wonderfully with barbecue or spicy foods.

While it can be made with ginger ale as a substitute, the authentic recipe uses ginger beer for its more intense flavor.

The Moscow Mule played a significant role in popularizing vodka in America during the mid-20th century, transforming it from an obscure spirit to a mainstream favorite.
