I must admit vodka is my drink of choice, especially on a hot summer's night when we are outside enjoying the pool. I recently discover the Moscow Mule (I know I don't get out much) anyway, how amazing is this cocktail, cold and refreshing and my favorite part the mint and fresh squeezed lime juice. Don't skip on either of those ingredients they really make this drink. The Moscow Mule Cocktail was created in the 1940's by Jack Morgan and John G. Martin in a historic hotel located in Manhattan, known as the Chatham Hotel. The drink back then was called "Little Moscow" because most imported premium vodka came from Russia back then. These American Distributors were trying to market their vodka to Americans. They used a chilled copper mug to make it appealing, and as you can see the copper mug really adds to the drink. I bought my husband a set of 4 for his birthday. They are fun to drink out of and somehow make the whole experience better. Happy summer to you and please comment below.
