Ultimate Whisky Ginger

• ¾ oz. Fever-Tree Ginger Ale
• Beaucoup de glaçons
• Décoration | Garnish: Tranche d’orange | Slice of orange

Moscow Mule

Misleadingly, the Moscow Mule didn’t originate in russia. the New York-born cocktail is aptly named for its spirit and icy-cold exterior.

There are a couple of things you should know about the Moscow Mule. Firstly, cocktail aficionados will insist that it must be served in a copper mug for the authentic drinking experience. This has very little to do with flavour and a lot to do with copper’s properties as an excellent heat conductor. This is a drink served as icy cold as the streets of Moscow in winter. Sipping from a copper mug will not only chill your lips, but your hands too, making the drink seem much colder than it would served in a regular glass. If you don’t happen to have a copper mug to hand, an enamelware mug works well too, but we won’t pass judgement if your home-bar only has more typical drinking receptacles – a glass will do just fine.

The second thing to mention is that it is such a simple cocktail. Its simplicity also means each ingredient is of equal importance. There’s no camouflaging of poor quality here. The Fever-Tree Ginger Beer is made with three types of real ginger, giving it a distinct, fiery flavour that is perfect for a Moscow Mule cocktail.

Ingredients

• 5 oz of Fever-Tree Ginger Beer
• 1,5 oz of premium vodka like the Grey Goose
• Le jus d’une lime | Juice of 1 lime
• Glaçons | Ice

Instructions

1. Squeeze the lime juice into a copper Moscow Mule mug, dropping in the spent rind.
2. Fill until overflowing with ice cubes and pour in the vodka.
3. Finish with the Ginger Beer and serve with a stirring rod.
