The Classic Moscow Mule Cocktail

The Moscow Mule was created in the 1940s and served in specially engraved copper mugs in an attempt to market vodka to Americans. Ever since, the spicy and refreshing vodka and ginger beer-based cocktail has been enjoyed throughout the year. Serve up this festive drink in this beautiful classic copper mug and garnish with fresh cranberries and lime. The mug makes a wonderful holiday gift for the cocktail lover!
